Anti-Ragging Cell 2019-20

Reflections 2019-20

As so many varieties of activities were conducted by the anti-ragging cell, the entire academic year did not present any incidences of ragging in our institution. But as mentioned earlier, ragging may not always be physically visible but happen at a micro level. Some students mentioned that they feel isolated in the class due to their regional diversity or linguistic diversity. The anti-ragging cell discussed the issue with the class, and it was stressed that a diverse class should be appreciated and understand the variety of cultures that come together.

Movies and Videos 2019-20

As per the UGC requirement, our students are given opportunities to watch various movies and videos on ragging and its ill effects. The web links are forwarded to the students and later these videos and movies are discussed in class.

Self-Development Modules 2019-20

We also conduct self-development activities for our students which teach them about self-esteem, self-confidence, resilience self-compassion, etc. through various activities which helps students develop a positive self-image of the students.

Yoga Sessions 2019-20

In order to remove any stress in our lives, Yoga is a very good medium, and we give our students an opportunity to participate in Yoga and meditation in our college. We invite experts from the field and as well as in-house teachers to conduct Yoga and meditation for our students. Sessions are also organized on brain training exercises, which allow our students to develop alertness in campus and outside of it.

Training 2019-20

Our students are oriented to deal with school students. As part of their two-year course, they have to complete an internship period of 5 months in various schools and colleges. During this time, they are in direct contact with the students. We train them to detect student behaviour and also how to handle different types of behaviours. They are educated to notice signs among children which may show symptoms of ragging and the proper procedure for handling such issues, if and when they arise. During subject teaching, our students are encouraged to give positive reinforcements as well as positive teaching to the students.

Counselling 2019-20

Apart from the counselling done by the Principal and the teachers, we also have our in-house counsellor Ms. Yvette Lee who conducts where sessions with the students as a group and also on an individual basis. She Conducts sessions on topics like handling stress in professional and personal life, stress due to the course at hand. She is available to the students to discuss matters on a personal level, either face to face or through telephonic conversations and emails.
