\"Ragging-related<\/div>


\n<\/p>\n

Fifty-one student deaths linked to ragging<\/a> were reported across Indian universities and colleges between 2022 and 2024, according to a new study by the Society Against Violence in Education<\/a> (SAVE). The figure is nearly equal to the 57 student suicides recorded in Kota<\/a>, Rajasthan, during the same period. The report, titled ‘State of Ragging in India 2022-24,’ highlights the severity of ragging incidents and identifies high-risk institutions.<\/p>\n

Medical colleges<\/a> emerged as hotspots for ragging, accounting for 38.6% of total complaints, 35.4% of serious cases, and 45.1% of ragging-related deaths<\/a>. Despite medical students making up just 1.1% of the total student population, they reported 30 times more ragging incidents per student compared to the national average.<\/p>\n

The report, based on 3,156 complaints registered through the national anti-ragging helpline from 1,946 colleges, pointed out that the actual number of cases could be much higher. \u201cIt is not to say that India registered just 3,156 ragging complaints in three years, these are just complaints registered with the national anti-ragging helpline. There is a huge number of complaints registered directly to colleges, and also directly to the police,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

The study also noted that many victims refrain from reporting due to fear of retaliation. \u201cIncidents of serious ragging will still be much higher in educational institutions as a small number of victims muster courage to come forward, others just silently suffer for fear of their safety after making any complaint,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n

As a measure to encourage more victims to report incidents, the report recommended allowing anonymous complaints through the anti-ragging helpline to ensure student safety and confidentiality.<\/p>\n
