Ragging in educational institutions has been a matter of concern for everyone in the
country. It is not a new phenomenon. Early references are found in Everyman’
Encyclopedia (1938). It is mentioned as racking, ducking, teasing etc.
Ragging is a systematized form of Human Rights abuse as embodied under the
Constitution of India as well as other Constitutions of the World. Over the years, all over
the World and especially in South Asia, the practice of Ragging has come to be meant as
an extreme harassment, terror and even physical and mental torture of the new students.

and discipline have been the main reasons for this spurt

educational institutions, and the Apex court of the country has also given guidelines for
preventing this practice in the educational institutions.
