Anti-Ragging Information

Last updated: August 2026. This page forms part of the terms under which BGLRGM Institute of Vocational Education & Training provides its programmes and services.

1. What counts as ragging

• Teasing, taunting, rough or rude treatment of any learner
• Any act that causes shame, embarrassment, fear or physical or psychological harm
• Asking a learner to do something they would not ordinarily do, which causes them humiliation
• Financial extortion, forced errands, or any exploitation of a junior learner
• Any of the above carried out by message, call, photograph or social media

2. How to report

• Tell any faculty member, the centre head or the warden immediately
• Call the institution helpline
• Write to admissions@bglrgm.com
• Submit the grievance form, marking it "Anti-Ragging"

3. Handling of a complaint

A complaint is placed before the anti-ragging committee without delay. The complainant's identity is protected so far as a fair enquiry allows, and no learner is disadvantaged for making a complaint in good faith. Interim protection, including separation of the parties, may be arranged while the enquiry proceeds.

4. Consequences

Established ragging leads to disciplinary action which may include suspension, withdrawal of scholarship or hostel facility, cancellation of admission and referral to the police where the conduct amounts to an offence. Learners and parents sign an anti-ragging undertaking at the time of admission.

5. Prevention

Centre heads conduct induction sessions on ragging awareness, maintain visible display of contact numbers, and supervise common areas, hostels and transport at vulnerable times.
