DISCIPLINE AND ANTI-RAGGING COMMITTEE OF KARNATAK SCIENCE COLLEGE, DHARWAD

Indiscipline implies the display of noisy, disorderly conduct, which hampers the smooth and harmonious functioning of the institution, whether inside the classroom and laboratory or outside, anywhere in the campus as well as outside. The students of KSCD should always remember that they are the torch-bearers of the institution and should not indulge in any behavior which brings disrepute to their institution, and a bad name to themselves.

Ragging is doing any act which causes or is likely to cause physical or physiological harm or even raise the apprehension of fear, shame or embarrassment to a student in the institution. Thus, ragging includes teasing, abusing or playing practical jokes on a student or causing hurt (either physical or mental torture) to a student. It also involves asking the student to do any act or perform something which a student will not ordinarily do, willingly. Ragging is neither a means of familiarization nor can be justified as an introduction of freshers to the seniors, but it is a form of psychopathic destructive behavior. Ragging is a violation of human rights. Ragging is totally prohibited in KSCD, and anyone found guilty of ragging or abetting the act of ragging, whether actively or passively, or is involved either fully or partly in a conspiracy to promote ragging, is liable to be severely punished. Ragging is a nonbailable, cognizable and punishable offence. Strictly, the students are asked to not indulge in ragging.
