[Hindu] Anti-ragging panel seeks more time


Parul Sharma

For filing its report on how to contain the menace

NEW DELHI: The anti-ragging committee set up by the Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry to look into the nuisance of ragging has sought more time to finalise its report.

The Committee, which was to submit its report to the Supreme Court by Wednesday, will now do so by April-end or the first week of May.

"We travelled a lot during this time and spoke to a lot of people. We got an overwhelming response. We have to finalise the draft now. In all fairness to those opinions, we will compile and analyse them carefully and then reach a conclusion. This will require some time and so we have sought an extension," said a member of the Committee on Thursday.

The Committee had travelled across various cities to garner public opinion on the issue of ragging.

Another member, Delhi University's Ramjas College Principal Rajender Prasad, said: "We received some 20,000 responses to our questionnaire. We will need time to tabulate the data. This should take about 10-15 days."

Former Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director R. K. Raghavan heads the seven-member Committee. The Supreme Court last November directed the HRD Ministry to constitute a committee to look into the issue of ragging in colleges.

The terms of reference of the Committee include studying the various aspects of ragging, means and methods of preventing it, possible actions that can be taken against those who indulge in it and action against colleges and university authorities in the event of ragging.

Other members of the Committee are: Director of IIT (Kanpur) S. G. Dhande; Dean of Maulana Azad Medical College A. K. Agarwal; Vice-Chancellor of SNDT Women's University (Mumbai) Chandra Krishnamurthy; and former Vice-Chancellor of Madras University S. Sathikh. The Joint Secretary in the Department of Education, Sunil Kumar, is the Member- Secretary of the Committee.
