WHAT IS RAGGING
‘Ragging’ means display of disorderly conduct, doing of any act which causes or is likely to

The human rights perspective of ragging involves the injury caused to the fundamental
right to human dignity through humiliation heaped on junior students by seniors; often
resulting in the extreme step of suicide by the victims.
Ragging has several aspects which include psychological, social, political, economic,
cultural and academic dimensions. The political aspect of ragging is apparent from the

Guidelines and norms laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Vishaka and Others Vs.
State of Rajasthan and Others(JT 1997 (7) SC 384)
HAVING REGARD to the definition of ‘human rights’ in Section 2 (d) of the Protection of
Human Rights Act, 1993,
TAKING NOTE of the fact that the present civil and penal laws in India do not adequately
provide for specific protection of women from sexual harassment in work places and that
enactment of such legislation will take considerable time, It is necessary and expedient for
employers in work places as well as other responsible persons or institutions to observe certain
guidelines to ensure the prevention of sexual harassment of women.
Duty of the Employer or other responsible persons in work places
Duty of the employer or other responsible persons in work places or other
institutions
It shall be the duty of the employer or other responsible persons in workplaces or other
institutions to prevent or deter the commission of acts of sexual harassment and to provide the
procedures for the resolution, settlement or prosecution of acts, of sexual harassment by taking
all steps required.
Definition
Definition For this purpose, sexual harassment includes such unwelcome sexually determined behaviour
(whether directly or by implication) as:
a) Physical contact and advances;
b) A demand or request for sexual favours;
c) Sexually coloured remarks;
d) Showing pornography;
e) Any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature
34
Where any of these acts is committed in circumstances where-under the victim of such conduct
has a reasonable apprehension that in relation to the victim’s employment or work whether she is
drawing salary, or honorarium or voluntary, whether in government, public or private enterprise
such conduct can be humiliating and may constitute a health and safety problem. It is
discriminatory for instance when the woman has reasonable grounds to believe that her objection
would disadvantage her in connection with her employment or work including recruiting or
promotion or when it creates a hostile work environment. Adverse consequences might be
visited if the victim does not consent to the conduct in question or raises any objection thereto.
Preventive steps
Preventive Steps All employers or persons in charge of work place whether in public or private sector should take
appropriate steps to prevent sexual harassment. Without prejudice to the generality of this
obligation they should take the following steps:
A. Express prohibition of sexual harassment as defined above at the work place should be
notified, published and circulated in appropriate ways.
B. The Rules/Regulations of Government and Public Sector bodies relating to conduct and
discipline should include rules/regulations prohibiting sexual harassment and provide for
appropriate penalties in such rules against the offender.
C. As regards private employers, steps should be taken to include the aforesaid prohibitions in
the standing orders under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act,1946.
D. Appropriate work conditions should be provided in respect of work, leisure, health and
hygiene to further ensure that there is no hostile environment towards women at work
places and no employee woman should have reasonable grounds to believe that she is
disadvantaged in connection with her employment.
35
Criminal Proceedings
Criminal Proceedings Where such conduct amounts to a specific offence under the Indian Penal Code or under any
other law, the employer shall initiate appropriate action in accordance with law by making a
complaint with the appropriate authority. In particular, it should ensure that victims or witnesses
are not victimized or discriminated against while dealing with complaints of sexual harassment.
The victims of sexual harassment should have the option to seek transfer of the perpetrator or
their own transfer.
Disciplinary Action
Disciplinary Action Where such conduct amounts to misconduct in employment as defined by the relevant service
rules, appropriate disciplinary action should be initiated by the employer in accordance with
those rules.
Complaint mechanism

appropriate complaint mechanism should be created in the employer’s organisation for redress of
the complaint made by the victim. Such complaint mechanism should ensure time bound
treatment of complaints.
Complaints committee
The complaint mechanism, referred to above, should be adequate to provide, where necessary, a
Complaints Committee, a special counsellor or other support service, including the maintenance
of confidentiality. The Complaints Committee should be headed by a woman and not less than
half of its member should be women. Further, to prevent the possibility of any undue pressure or
influence from senior levels, such Complaints Committee should involve a third party, either
NGO or other body who is familiar with the issue of sexual harassment. The Complaints
Committee must make an annual report to the Government department concerned of the
complaints and action taken by them. The employers and person in charge will also report on the
compliance with the aforesaid guidelines including on the reports of the Complaints Committee
to the Government department.
36
Workers initiative
Worker’s Initiative Employees should be allowed to raise issues of sexual harassment at a workers’ meeting and in
other appropriate forum and it should be affirmatively discussed in Employer-Employee
Meetings.
Awareness
Awareness of the rights of female employees in this regard should be created in particular by
prominently notifying the guidelines (and appropriate legislation when enacted on the subject) in
a suitable manner.
Third Party Harassment
Third Party Harassment Where sexual harassment occurs as a result of an act or omission by any third party or outsider,
the employer and person in charge will take all steps necessary and reasonable to assist the
affected person in terms of support and preventive action.
The Central/State Governments are requested to consider adopting suitable measures including
legislation to ensure that the guidelines laid down by this order are also observed by the
employers in Private Sector. These guidelines will not prejudice any rights available under the
Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.

POLICIES FOR MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
Smt. Kashibai Navale College of Physiotherapy admitted the first batch of Under Graduate
students in the year 2008. Maximum numbers of students were from out of Pune city, staying
away from their family, living at the hostel. In this academic year, assessment of academic
performance of students pointed out that, for few students, in first terminal examination was not
up to the mark.
It was realised that these students definitely needed the help and guidance for their
academic improvement as well as development of personality, which has to be handy and
frequent. In view of this, a mentorship programme was designed. These few needy students were
allotted to the teachers who volunteered to be their mentors.
There was a successful outcome of this specialised mentorship programme. This
mentorship programme definitely helped those students and resulted in improved performance/
grades in the preliminary and the final university examinations. While discussing the benefits of
this mentorship programme we evaluated various problems faced by the students. Mentors
enlisted various causes like home sicknesses, difficulty with the adjustments with new city or the
environment, new friends, classmates, distractions while studying, lack of parental watch etc.
These were the primary reasons as the hurdles for academic growth of students. Along
with this few students reported the language barrier specially, spoken English. Those coming
from small towns with lower socio economical background also had the inhibition to talk and
ask the doubts freely. It was not only the academics; all the students also had their own doubts
and confusions about the many aspects as an adolescent teenager to deal various life time
situations and day today activities.
These findings were emphasised the need of constant guidance and encouragement
programme for all the students including high achievers. Thus from the year 2009, the college
decided to follow this specialised mentorship programme for all the students. After the
admission, all the students are allotted the mentors. Mentors meet the students and talk
informally to know them personally, about their family, parental relationship, their hobbies, their
goals and any weaknesses, if any.
