About This Event
The Anti-Ragging Committee (Self-Finance) of JKKN College of Arts and Science organized an Anti-Ragging Awareness Program on 23rd June 2025 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Senthuraja Hall.
The primary objective of the event was to sensitize II and III year undergraduate students about the legal, psychological, and social consequences of ragging, while promoting a safe, inclusive, and respectful academic environment. The session aimed to address ongoing concerns related to ragging and peer harassment, despite strict laws and institutional guidelines.
The chief guest for the program was Mr. R. Gowri Shankar, a respected lawyer associated with the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Coimbatore. He delivered a compelling address highlighting the legal implications of ragging, emphasizing the significance of student responsibility in cultivating a positive campus culture. His insights offered clarity on laws, penalties, and the role of students in upholding campus discipline.
The event successfully enhanced student awareness of support systems, complaint redressal mechanisms, and ethical conduct. It also helped reinforce the role of the Anti-Ragging Committee in ensuring student safety and mental well-being. Feedback was collected from both students and faculty, reflecting a positive response, especially toward the legal awareness component.
Although a formal review meeting was not conducted, valuable suggestions for future sessions were noted, including the introduction of peer mentorship cells and anonymous digital reporting systems.
Moving forward, the committee plans to conduct similar awareness programs regularly at the beginning of each academic year, collaborate further with legal experts, and strengthen student engagement through mentorship and open communication channels.
The event was effectively coordinated by Mrs. M.S. Punithamalar, and the active participation of students and staff contributed significantly to the success of the program.
