Anti-Ragging Cell

KVELL enforces a strict, zero-tolerance anti-ragging policy across all constituent colleges, in line with Supreme Court and UGC guidelines. Report ragging directly through our Anti-Ragging Cell.

About the Anti-Ragging Cell

Ragging is a criminal offence in India, not a campus tradition or a rite of passage. The Supreme Court has defined it clearly: any act that violates or is perceived to violate a student’s dignity qualifies as ragging, and it carries real legal consequences under the penal code. Following Supreme Court directives, a National Anti-Ragging Helpline now operates specifically to address this, because ragging in its various forms has historically involved serious abuse and clear violations of basic human rights.

KVELL bans ragging in every form, across every constituent college, department, and premises, academic blocks, hostels, sports facilities, and cafeterias included. Any student found guilty of ragging, or of helping someone else carry it out, faces strict action. That can include criminal proceedings and cancellation of admission. The responsibility for that action falls entirely on the perpetrator, never on the victim. A case can be opened either through a written complaint from the affected student or through an independent finding by the Anti-Ragging Squad.

How the Cell Works

  1. Ragging is banned across all KVELL constituent colleges, in every physical space on campus
  2. Complaints can come from a written statement by the affected student or from the Anti-Ragging Squad’s own findings
  3. Action against violators can include criminal proceedings and cancellation of admission
  4. Victims are protected from any disciplinary consequence tied to reporting

How to Report

Students who experience or witness ragging can report it directly through the university’s online grievance and complaint channel, or by contacting the Anti-Ragging Committee directly. Compliance documentation, UGC and AICTE anti-ragging guidelines, and formal undertakings are available on request from the admissions and administrative office.
