UGC Issues Show Cause Notice to 18 Medical Colleges for Non-Compliance with Anti-Ragging Regulations
The UGC has warned that failure to provide a satisfactory response may lead to penalties and other disciplinary actions as per the regulations.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued show cause notices to 18 medical colleges across India for failing to obtain mandatory anti-ragging undertakings from students, as required under the Anti-Ragging Regulations, 2009.
In its notice, the UGC highlighted that securing these undertakings from students and their parents or guardians at the time of admission and at the beginning of every academic year is a crucial preventive measure against ragging. The failure to comply with this regulation not only constitutes a breach of UGC norms but also endangers student safety on campuses.
The affected institutions have been directed to submit a written explanation within seven days, detailing the reasons for non-compliance and the corrective measures they plan to implement. The UGC has warned that failure to provide a satisfactory response may lead to penalties and other disciplinary actions as per the regulations.
