a) The Commission shall make it mandatory for the institutions to incorporate in
their prospectus, the directions of the Central Government or the State Level
Monitoring Committee with regard to prohibition and consequences of ragging,
and that non-compliance with these Regulations and directions so provided, shall
be considered as lowering of academic standards by the institution, therefore
making it liable for appropriate action.
b) The Commission shall verify that the institutions strictly comply with the
requirement of getting the affidavits from the students and their
parents/guardians as envisaged under these Regulations.
c) The Commission shall include a specific condition in the Utilization Certificate, in
respect of any financial assistance or grants-in-aid to any institution under any of
the general or special schemes of the Commission, that the institution has
complied with the anti-ragging measures.
d) Any incident of ragging in an institution shall adversely affect its accreditation,
ranking or grading by NAAC or by any other authorised accreditation agencies
while assessing the institution for accreditation, ranking or grading purposes.
e) The Commission may accord priority in financial grants-in-aid to those
institutions, otherwise eligible to receive grants under section 12B of the Act,
which report a blemishless record in terms of there being no reported incident of
ragging.
f) The Commission shall constitute an Inter-Council Committee, consisting of
representatives of the various Councils, the Non-Governmental agency
responsible for monitoring the database maintained by the Commission under
clause (g) of Regulation 8.1 and such other bodies in higher education, to
coordinate and monitor the anti-ragging measures in institutions across the
country and to make recommendations from time to time; and shall meet at
least once in six months each year.
g) The Commission shall institute an Anti-Ragging Cell within the Commission as an
institutional mechanism to provide secretarial support for collection of
information and monitoring, and to coordinate with the State Level Monitoring
Cell and University level Committees for effective implementation of anti-ragging
measures, and the Cell shall also coordinate with the Non-Governmental agency
