now Indian Government launches anti-ragging portal

   Union Human Resource Development Minister "Kapil Sibal" Thursday launched an "anti-ragging website" 'www.antiragging.in' to help students of various universities, colleges and professional institutes  to lodge online complaints against ragging or harassment and seek faster response.
Complaints follow up, log creation and display system on the web. Students can see the progress of their complaint any time on www.antiragging.in 

• Online anti ragging affidavits can be downloaded by students from www.antiragging.in 

 Sibal said after launching the portal -"The Supreme Court gave order in 2009 that we should create an anti-ragging portal. Ragging is a crime which destroys a student's confidence and even forces them to commit suicide," 
 UGC acting chairman Ved Prakash said that "students can also register their complaint by dialling 18001805522 as part of the facility, which will be followed up in a structured software system. "The complaints would be examined. If they are of serious magnitude, they would be transferred immediately to the police, the magistrate and head of the institution,"
"We will respond to the complaints in half an hour. The college principals and authorities will be contacted immediately. If they are not reachable or do not respond appropriately, the local police will be contacted," Kachroo said. 
"There are nearly 40,000 colleges across the country... we will create a database of all colleges," he said. 

"The web portal is a medium of managing complaints, follow up of complaints and escalation of unresolved complaints to regulatory authorities, enhanced communication with colleges and universities, developing database, displaying status of complaints etc," said the HRD Ministry statement. 

"All our communication, talks and discussions would be posted on the web so that the victim has complete access to what has happened since lodging the compliant," Kachroo said, whose trust - Aman Satya Kachroo Trust - will manage the 24X7 facility.
