The Anti-Ragging Committee is constituted in the college in order to prevent ragging on the campus and to take effective anti-ragging measures as per the guidelines issued by the Supreme Court of India and UGC.

The aim of the cell is to ensure an entirely ragging-free environment on the campus, create awareness of the dehumanising effect of ragging, and ensure that no act of ragging shall go unnoticed and unpunished.

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 had notified “Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, 2009”.
