Anti-Ragging Cell

 

Anti-ragging refers to the efforts made to prevent bullying, harassment, and other forms of mistreatment in schools and educational institutions. It is a major issue in India and other countries, and has become a critical part of the education system in recent years. Programs and initiatives aimed at preventing ragging usually involve awareness campaigns, counselling, and disciplinary action for offenders.

The Government of India has floated a site https://www.antiragging.in/ to bring about this awareness. We at BNCA take action towards this awareness by conducting sessions for the girl students making them aware that action will be taken on offenders.
