Overview

In pursuance of the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dated 08.05.2009 in Civil Appeal No. 887/2009, the UGC has notified the “Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, 2009.” These regulations are mandatory and are to be strictly adhered to by all institutions.
