HISTORY

CURE began in July 2001,[1] in Delhi, and has grown to a membership of several hundreds, mostly students.

In February 2007, CURE reported to the Supreme Court appointed Raghavan committee on ways to prevent ragging in Indian universities,[1] highlighting the prevalence of physical and sexual abuse in the name of ragging.[2] CURE also highlighted institutional unwillingness to acknowledge ragging,[3] citing loss of reputation as their reason.

GOALS AND RESEARCH

CURE's stated goals are to create awareness about ragging and its ill-effects, provide alternate means of interaction to Indian students and censure those involved in ragging. Their research points to ragging as not being "harmless fun",[4] but the cause of 25 suicides in 7 years[3]

SFI state secretary P Biju demanded legal actions against the senior
students of Thrissur Medical College who ragged a junior student on the
other day.
At a press conference here, Biju alleged that a senior police officer
had a hidden agenda to save the culprits in the incident.
Biju said that the Public Service Commission had lost its credibility
with the appointment of KS Radhakrishnan as chairman. He added that SFI
would hold a Rajbhavan march on August 16 demanding the replacement of
Radhakrishnan.
He asked the government to make the Agricultural University and
Veterinary University a self-dependent one and provide full authority
to the Calicut University. He accused that the Calicut University was
functioning as a department of the state government.

[Ragging News From Indian Colleges] Ragging accused given assignment

Ragging News — 2011-08-14T11:17:26

[http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-10/coimbatore/29871504_1_college-authorities-students-case-studies]
COIMBATORE: The district court here has ordered five students of
Kongunadu Arts and Science College accused in a ragging case to prepare
multiple reports on the ills of ragging in educational institutions.

Two of the accused have been ordered to delve into the origin and
evolution of ragging through various case studies and while two other
students have been asked to compile a list of incidents of ragging and
their direct and indirect consequences during the last five years in
the state. Another accused have been asked to prepare a special report
on the need for effective participation of students in preventing
ragging in educational institutions.

The court, taking into consideration the fact that all five accused
were college students, spared them the procedure of presenting
themselves before the local police station or district court on a daily
basis. "Since all accused are students and might suffer trauma and
stigma if they are asked to report to a police station or court, the
court has decided to ask them to compile and prepare these reports. The
reports should be handed over to their college principal before August
30," observed judicial magistrate-I LS Sathiyamurthy while hearing the
bail petition of the students on Tuesday.

The five students, pursuing BSc zoology, were arrested under section 4
of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Ragging Act last Thursday (August 4). They
were handed over to the police after the anti-ragging committee of the
college conducted an internal probe into a complaint filed by 12 MSc
second year girl students who accused the five of verbally abusing them
on the campus on July 28. Based on the complaint, college authorities
lodged a complaint with Thudiyalur police. "The first two accused V
Thangamuthu (20) of Erode and G Vijayakanth (21) were ordered to trace
the origin and evolution of ragging in various levels of education with
the help of case studies and preventive measures adopted by colleges.

The third and fourth accused R Lalithkumar (20) and G Manikandan (22)
have been ordered to compile a report on the total number of ragging
incidents reported in the state during the last five years and along
with the direct and indirect consequences of these reports. "They can
trace these cases with the help of media reports and clippings and look
into each of these incidents in detail," the magistrate observed. The
fifth and final accused S Prabhakaran (24) has been ordered to study
the impact of various programmes adopted by colleges to prevent ragging
through active student participation and co-operation in higher
education institutions. The students will have to submit the report on
or before August 30 to their college principal. Thangamuthu is a first
year student while rest of the four accused are third year zoology
students.

[Ragging News From Indian Colleges] Authorities turn blind eye as L D hostel ...

Ragging News — 2011-08-14T11:21:53

[http://www.ahmedabadmirror.com/article/3/2011081120110811021952786c3312d8c/Authorities-turn-blind-eye-as-L-D-hostel-students-suffer-.html]
Tuesday’s incident in which a fresher was reportedly slapped by a drunk
senior has created panic among other students. They fear the worst is
not over yet as outsiders continue to frequent the engineering hostel
without anyone checking them Tuesday night’s alleged ragging of a
fresher by senior students after reportedly consuming alcohol at the L
D engineering college hostel has not only created a sense of fear among
hostel inmates, but is also indicative that the worst might still be
waiting to happen if the authorities continue to turn a blind eye to
the problem.

A day after the incident, the matter was handed over to the
anti-ragging committee, a student was ousted from the hostel and the
police were trying to trace the ‘guilty’ students. But this has done
little to create a sense of security among the inmates, who continue to
live amid fear. The authorities need to wake up and take some concrete
measures to avoid recurrence of such incidents, many students
complained.

Barely a year ago, a 30-year-old man was stabbed to death on the hostel
premises in a brawl that followed a drinking session in a hostel room.
Though none of those involved in the incident were college students,
they had gathered for a booze session in the room, and then got into a
brawl.

A number of students, university staff and security personnel whom
Mirror spoke to after the Tuesday incident, mentioned that the
interference of outsiders, who would frequent the hostel without any
check, consumption of liquor and harassment of junior students was
quite common in the hostel, with the authorities turning a blind eye to
such incidents.

A security personnel of Gujarat Industrial Security Force (GISF) even
alleged that everything was happening with the consent and knowledge of
college authorities. “The rector himself has been having booze sessions
with some of the inmates. How do you expect him to stop such
activities? Such booze sessions and brawls are common with outsiders
easily gaining access and there is no sense of security among the
students,” he said.

The college authorities admit they can do little to prevent entry of
antisocial elements into the hostel, but denied the involvement of
officials in such activities.

“No official from the college is involved and such allegations are
baseless. If a security personnel finds anyone involved in such
activities, he should bring it to the notice of authorities or nab the
persons who are involved,’’ said L D engineering college Principal M N
Patel.

Patel also claimed that under given circumstances, it was not possible
for the authorities to keep a check on such incidents. “There are too
many entry points to the premises, all of which cannot be closed. If
any of the security personnel or students notice anyone indulging in
such activities, they should bring it to the knowledge of authorities,”
he said, adding, “it was practically not possible to keep a watch on
all 1,000 students who are staying in 240 rooms of hostel.”

However, security personnel and students maintained that whenever
authorities were apprised about such incidents, they did little.

In his complaint to the Gujarat University police station, Ashish
Sorathiya has alleged that the rector whom he approached after the
incident, tried to hush up the matter. “Instead of showing any concern
about the incident he asked me to give him a written complaint about
the incident. He did not show any interest in getting to the bottom of
the issue, nor did he accompany me to the police station,” Sorathiya
said.

The police file

In his complaint to the police, Sorathiya, who is a first year student
and had come to stay in E block, room number 520 two days ago, said,
“Around 8.30 pm when he was watching his two roommates playing chess,
Satyam Modi and Neel Patel along with a few others came there from
another room where they had had a drinking session. Modi, who was
drunk, asked Sorathiya to show respect to his seniors and address him
as Bhai.

Neel Patel, who too seemed to be under the influence of liquor, slapped
him. A frightened Sorathiya, mentioned this to some other students who
were from his region. Soon a call was made to the local police control
room. Sorathiya and some other students then went to meet rector N K
Arora, who asked him to give a written complaint about the incident.
Later he filed a non-cognizable complaint against Satyam Modi, Neel
Patel and four others at the Gujarat University police station.

Police Inspector S J Vagasiya, who is looking into the complaint, said
going by the version of complainant and others, the incident does not
appear to be that of ragging. “We are trying to reach out to the
students named in the incident but they are not traceable,’’ he said.

Action taken by college

According to L D Principal M N Patel the matter has been handed over to
the anti-ragging committee, which will give its report within a week.
“Before drawing any conclusion we should await the findings of the
report,” he said. Both, Satyam Modi, and Neel Patel who are in seventh
semester will not be eligible for placements, he said.

During the initial probe it has been found that Modi was staying
illegally in the hostel. Neel Patel, who also faces allegations of
ragging, meanwhile has been barred from the hostel till the
anti-ragging committee submits its report. Parents of both the students
have also been summoned.

The principal also assured that if it is proved that the students were
involved in ragging, their admission would be cancelled.

No takers for rector’s post

NSUI, meanwhile, has given a memorandum to the principal seeking
removal of Rector Dr N K Arora for his “inaction and irresponsible’’
behaviour. The memorandum said he showed no concern towards the
affected students and did not act responsibly.

Even though present rector is facing allegations of indifference and
being hand-in-glove with the students who were indulging in unlawful
activities including boozing, there has been a reluctance on part of
the university staff to take up this post.

Apart from dealing with as many as 1,000 students in the hostel, many
of whom would not mind flouting their proximity to political parties
and heavyweights, the post comes with no incentives such as house rent
allowance and restriction on movement. With hardly any member of the
faculty showing willingness to take up the responsibility, they are
forced to take up this post, with an assurance of a change after a
while.

College authorities suggest that instead of such a ‘stop-gap
arrangement’ the responsibility to manage college affairs should be
handed over to a trust or private security agency.

Anatomy of clashes

L D College of Engineering hostel, which houses 1,000 students from
different regions is not new to brawls and incidents of violence. Till
four years ago, students, coming from same regions were allotted rooms
in the same block.

For instance, students coming from Mehsana and Saurashtra were given
rooms in A and B blocks. Similarly, C block was allotted to those from
outside the state and D block was kept for students of polytechnic.
However, when it was found that the students from particular region and
communities started getting into brawls after making their groups, a
segregation was done.

Authorities also maintained that around 35 IAS officials have
accommodations near the hostel and there is a Public Works department
office near to the campus. It was not possible to restrain the
movements of vehicles, which made it easy for several unwanted elements
to gain access into the campus, they said.

Patna: Despite strict ban against ragging in all colleges, a first year
student of B. N. College in Patna on Friday was badly beaten up after
he refused to comply to the demands of a group of senior students,
authorities in Patna said.

Political Science student Prithvi Raj, in a police report, said a group
of senior students stopped him in the college campus on Friday and
heckled him preventing him from attending his class. When he showed
resistance, they kicked him and hit him in his face while threatening
to make his life miserable if he didn't listen to their demands.
A scared Prithvi Raj then complained to the Principal who assigned a
professor to investigate the case and take suitable action against the
erring students.

[Ragging News From Indian Colleges] NBU senior student ‘ragged’

Ragging News — 2011-07-03T17:00:41

[http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110627/jsp/siliguri/story_14164866.jsp]
Siliguri, June 26: A second-year post-graduate student of North Bengal
University has alleged that he was “ragged” by a Trinamul Chhatra
Parishad leader, an outsider, and a first-year MBA student in a hostel
on the campus last night.

Raju Sarkar has claimed that he was “mentally and physically tortured”
by Pankaj Sinha, the TMCP leader in-charge of the varsity who is not a
student of NBU, and Tirthankar Mukherjee for staying in a Chhatra
Parishad leader’s house. Sarkar and Mukherjee are both members of the
student wing of the Trinamul Congress.

In an FIR lodged with the Matigara police station today, Sarkar, a
student of geography, alleged that he had been “ragged” for an hour in
one of the hostel rooms when he refused to shift from the CP leader’s
house where he was staying as a tenant.

“Although I am a TMCP supporter, I have a lot of friends who belong to
the CP (the student wing of the Congress) in the varsity. I have been
staying at Ronald Dey’s house as a tenant for the past seven months.
Last night, Pankaj called me to Tirthankar’s room on the ground floor
of the hostel. The two of them started threatening me with dire
consequences if I did not leave Ronald’s house immediately. I told them
it was impossible since I am preparing for PG exams scheduled to begin
on July 4,” said Sarkar.

“They forced me to drink alcohol and hit me with a belt on my back
several times. They also stubbed burning cigarette on my left arm and
snipped off my hair with a blade. When I tried to escape they caught
hold of my T-shirt and tore it,” said Sarkar, a resident of Asuragarh
in North Dinajpur.

Dey is a second-year PG English student and the unit secretary of the
CP at the university. Sinha has denied the allegations and dubbed it a
ploy of a “section of TMCP supporters” who wanted him to give up his
post.

“Sarkar has made the allegations at the behest of a section of TMCP
supporters who want me removed from the post of the varsity in-charge.
All accusations against me are baseless. I had met Sarkar around 5pm at
Shivmandir (local market) but not after that. I did not visit the
hostel last night so the question of ragging does not arise,” said
Sinha.

NBU authorities said an inquiry had been initiated. “We are taking the
matter seriously as it involves ragging by an outsider along with a
student in the hostel at an odd hour. Tirthankar’s room is locked now,
he has left the hostel,” said Rathin Banerjee, the hostel
superintendent.

The police have acknowledged that a complaint was filed by the NBU
student.

North Bengal development minister Gautam Deb is not ready to buy the
charge that the TMCP has been targeting CP members since Trinamul came
to power in the state.

“Whatever happened at the university is unfortunate. Ragging by a TMCP
leader is an isolated incident. Such instances had not taken place in
the state after we formed the government. So, it would be wrong to say
that the TMCP is using force against the CP after Trinamul came to
power in the state,” said Deb.

[Ragging News From Indian Colleges] Student reports ragging, NID orders probe

Ragging News — 2011-06-19T19:45:18

[http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Student-reports-ragging--NID-orders-probe/805695/]
The National Institute of Design has formed a seven-member committee to
look into a complaint of ragging after an official complaint by a new
student. The foundation course student filed a formal written complaint
on Friday evening, accusing three second year students of ragging him.
The institute had warned senior students about the consequences several
days prior to the complaint.

The incident, however, has evoked angry responses from many senior
students who accuse the freshman of having over-reacted. Senior
students had apparently entered the juniors’ rooms at night and asked
them to smoke cigarettes. One senior student brushed aside the incident
as “a yearly drama, endemic around each May and June”.

Registrar Vijaya Deshmukh said the administration had received calls
and emails from parents of a few new students, and that had kept them
on their toes. Deshmukh said forcefully entering the students’ rooms
counts as a misdemeanor, and that the senior students ought to have
heeded the administration’s earlier warnings.

The institute has, after the incident, barred seniors from entering the
junior’s rooms, and security guards have been asked to remain vigilant.

Two of the three accused students are in the Product Design and
Exhibition Design courses, and the third has not yet been allotted one,
having just passed his foundation course.

The committee will begin investigations from Monday, and a decision is
expected to be reached by the end of the week. The three accused
students have been suspended. An FIR has not been registered yet.

[Ragging News From Indian Colleges] 13-year-old sexually harassed at TTD school

Ragging News — 2011-06-13T14:27:21

[http://expressbuzz.com/cities/hyderabad/13-year-old-sexually-harassed-at-ttd-school/275857.html]
Last Updated : 19 May 2011 09:53:10 AM IST

TIRUMALA: A 13-year old student from Hyderabad was allegedly sexually
harassed by three of his seniors at Sri Venkateswara Veda Patashala in
Dharmagiri on the Tirumala Hills.

Parents of the boy lodged a complaint with the Two Town Police Station
here on Wednesday.

They had taken the matter to the notice of Veda Patashala principal
Ramamurthy and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Executive Officer
IYR Krishna Rao. “But no action has been initiated against the
culprits,” they said.
Acting on their complaint, police booked a case under Section 377 of
the IPC and also under the Ragging (prevention) Act.

“The incident seems to have happened 20 days back. We are
investigating,” said sub-inspector Amarnath.

The TTD confirmed the incident but claimed that an inquiry was
conducted and the accused given TCs.

It further said it had assured the boy’s parents that since the
offenders had been expelled, they could readmit their son in the school
and promised help in the continuance of his education at the Veda
Patashala. However, the parents had refused its offer.

TTD executive engineer RSSUR Subramanyam has been deputed as
administrative officer to the Veda Patashala.

The school staff have also been directed to keep a night-long vigil
with each looking after 12 boys.
