The University Grants Commission (UGC) has established regulations for preventing ragging in higher education institutions and has introduced several initiatives to create awareness and ensure effective prevention. In connection with Anti-Ragging Day on August 12 and 13 and Anti-Ragging Week observed from August 12 to 18, the UGC, along with the Centre for Youth (C4Y) and the UGC National Anti-Ragging Monitoring Agency, has planned a range of awareness-oriented activities.
As part of this programme, students of the B.Tech. Dairy Technology programme at Mansinhbhai Institute of Dairy & Food Technology (MIDFT) enthusiastically took part in various awareness activities. These comprised poster-making and slogan-writing competitions, rangoli, an awareness speech, and a stage play portraying the negative impact of ragging and emphasizing the need for a safe and supportive campus atmosphere. Students also viewed short films and anti-ragging awareness videos designed to sensitize them about the consequences of ragging and promote a culture of respect and inclusivity. Through their active involvement, MIDFT students supported efforts to foster a safe, inclusive, and ragging-free environment within higher education institutions.
