The Keralam government informed the Kerala High Court on Tuesday that the Anti-Ragging and Student Welfare Guidelines have been drawn up to prevent and prohibit ragging, punish culprits and provide a healthy atmosphere on campuses. The Division Bench of Chief Justice Soumen Sen and Justice C. Jayachandran had previously directed the State to issue guidelines based on the draft Kerala Prohibition of Ragging (Amendment) Bill, until it was enacted. The guidelines were drawn up with the objectives of preventing ragging and explaining the legal rights and responsibilities of students and educational institutions. The guidelines also aim to establish a clear mechanism for reporting complaints, safeguard victims and witnesses in ragging cases, ensure free and fair enquiry, clarify legal and disciplinary consequences of ragging and achieve “absolute welfare of students”.
