An event on preventing ragging took place at Sri Krishnaveni Junior College, organized by the District Legal Services Authority. The goal was to inform students about the serious consequences of ragging, both legally and personally, affecting both victims and offenders.
Legal experts explained the laws against ragging and its effects on people and schools. They stressed that ragging is a crime and encouraged students to report it without hesitation. Such actions can lead to suspension and criminal charges under Indian law.
Speakers also talked about free legal support available from the District Legal Services Authority for those affected by ragging. They encouraged students to report any incidents bravely and seek help from the authorities.
Important figures at the event included Mr. V. Rajender (Chief Legal Aid Defence Counsel), Mr. B. Srinivasulu (Deputy Legal Aid Defence Counsel), Mr. D. Lakshmana Swamy (Assistant Legal Aid Defence Counsel), and Mr. Ramesh (Correspondent of the college). Faculty members and many students also attended.
This event is part of a larger effort to ensure a safe, respectful learning environment where students can focus on their studies without fear. The District Legal Services Authority reaffirmed its dedication to protecting student rights and enforcing a zero-tolerance approach to ragging in schools.
The program ended with an interactive session, allowing students to express their views and ask questions to the legal experts.
