this is really shocking and disheartening too. i thought cases of ragging will
decrease due to sc judgement but that is not so.
next hearing of the ragging case was due in september can any one tell what
happened in that hearing in sc or that hearing was adjourned?

Charging that there has been âno respiteâ from ragging in educational
institutions across the country despite the Supreme Court directing them to put
down the menace with an iron hand, a non-profit organisation, âCoalition to
Uproot Ragging from Educationâ (CURE), has said that as many as 52 cases of
ragging have been reported in the media since this past May.
CURE has made a list of these cases from the online archives of the countryâs
leading newspapers.
âOur research has revealed that 52 cases of ragging have been reported in the
online editions of the national English media since May 21, 2007. Contrast this
with only 15 cases in the same period last year that indicates that reporting
levels have remarkably improved. However, from the severity of the situation,
it is also clear that the recommendations of the Raghavan Committee have been
unable to act as any deterrent to prevent senior students from breaking the
law,â said Harsh Agarwal, a CURE coordinator.
âA preliminary analysis of the cases reveals six suicides, three attempted
suicides, 17 cases of reported physical abuse and several other cases involving
sexual, verbal and drug abuse. It is clear that the Supreme Court interim
judgement has not been implemented in letter and in spirit by the law
enforcement agencies and other stakeholders,â he said.
CURE has observed that despite the Supreme Court emphasising the need for
educating society and spreading awareness on this issue, not much seems to have
been done at the national level.
âWe maintain that ragging cannot be combated by deterrence alone. The
psycho-social aspects of ragging need to be understood thoroughly and this
menace needs to be tackled through a three-pronged approach involving education
and awareness, providing alternate means of interaction along with strict
implementation of deterring laws,â asserted Harsh Agarwal.
Indira Gandhi National Open University has launched an International Ph.D.
programme that is available in various disciplines.
The prospectus will be available on www.ignou.ac.in. The applications will be
received at the International Division at IGNOU. There will be two sessions for
the Ph.D. programme every year -- in January and July.
Jagannath International Management School (JIMS), Vasant Kunj, has launched a
unique weekly interactive programme for policemen who are being given
communication lessons. The programme is aimed at understanding their problems
and placing them in the company of local residents for a dialogue.
The six-week programme was launched recently with policemen drawn from the
Vasant Kunj and Delhi Cantonment police stations.
The Institute has also adopted a nearby village, Masoodpur, as its âmedia
laboratoryâ to assess the impact of communication on the development of an
urban village.
The MBA students at the Faculty of Management Studies at Delhi University
conducted an online services conclave titled âClickIT- The World at your
Clickâ last week.
The conclave was organised by âSynopsysâ -- the systems, operations and
consulting society at FMS -- and aimed at recognising the emergence of the
online services industry. The speakers were leaders from the industry who
addressed various functional aspects of such services like change in business
models, content protection issues, and interaction between suppliers and end
users.
