New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued an official directive instructing all medical colleges and institutions under its jurisdiction to observe Anti-Ragging Day on August 12, followed by Anti-Ragging Week from August 12 to 18. This move aligns with the advisory released by the University Grants Commission (UGC) on July 22, aimed at reinforcing a zero-tolerance approach to ragging in higher education institutions.
In its notice, the NMC emphasized that adherence to the anti-ragging guidelines is mandatory, urging institutions to ensure “strict compliance” with the UGC regulations. These include setting up monitoring mechanisms and actively engaging in awareness efforts to eliminate ragging from campuses across India.
