Delhi University is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to curb incidents of ragging with the new academic session all set to commence on July 16. University authorities are hopeful that no untoward incidents take place this year.

Delhi University Proctor, Prof Gurmeet Singh, said, “We have issued instructions to all heads of institutions that fall under DU that they should identify a Disciplinary Resource Person (DRP) and intimate the DRP’s name, address and telephone numbers to the proctor’s office immediately. The DRPs will directly liaise with the proctor at the university level.”

Apart from this, colleges have also been instructed to form disciplinary resource committees and vigilance squads to maintain law and order in the institutions and avoid cases of indiscipline.

“Sealed complain boxes would be placed in front of the principal’s office in all colleges, especially in colleges which have hostels, for the benefit of potential victims of ragging to enable them to put their complaints and suggestions to college authorities. Officials in colleges have been instructed to take prompt necessary action on these complaints as per university norms,” said Singh, adding that the recent SC judgment on ragging will be followed in “letter and spirit.”

Deputy Commissioner of Police (North District) DC Shrivastav said: “200 to 250 cops would be on duty to check any cases of ragging and eve-teasing in the colleges apart from the 250 private security personnel appointed by the university.”
