To enhance familiarity and to acclimatise the freshers’ to the academic and social environment of the campus, an orientation programme is generally held in the first week of the new academic calendar. Different communication mechanisms are used to disseminate the information about the anti-ragging measures being followed at the college. At various corner of the campus warning stating “Zero tolerance policy in Ragging” “Be aware Raggers” etc are displayed to aware the students. Apart from these the provision of punishment as per IPC is also displayed in the campus to warn the probable offender.

Regular interaction and counselling sessions are held with the students to make them comfortable in the new environment and to detect any signs of ragging. The anti-ragging squad regularly visits canteen/student union office and sports ground to detect any signs of ragging. In addition, there is surprise inspection at canteens, common rooms, toilets’ zone, garage area etc to prevent ragging and any undesirable behaviour or incident.
