Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized the urgent need to implement the recommendations of the Raghavan Committee to combat ragging in educational institutions. The Court directed the establishment of Anti-Ragging Committees and Squads at both institutional and district levels, as outlined in Recommendations No. 5.14, 5.16, and 5.18. The Court held that these measures are essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of students, particularly freshers, and mandated that institutions engage professional counselors and organize orientation programs to foster a supportive environment.
