As per the section 2 (e) of AP Prohibition of Ragging Act, 1997
“Ragging means doing an act which causes or is likely to insult or annoyance of fear or apprehension or threat or intimidation or outrage of modesty or injury to a student”.
The Anti-Ragging Cell of the college is very vigilant all the times. As a proactive measure a student led campaign of awareness against ragging has been initiated at the beginning of the academic year. Through this campaign the student volunteers addressed the Senior Students about the ill effects & consequences of ragging. These volunteers also addressed the fresher’s in the college and advised them to be alert, aware and report any incidents of ragging in the campus. Effective measures are taken by the management from time to time to discourage ragging in the campus hence Sri Venkateswara Pharmacy College Campus is a Ragging Free Campus.
It is mandatory as per the Hon. Supreme Court & UGC/AICTE Regulations that all students fill in an Anti-Ragging Affidavit, each year. To make the process easy MHRD has developed an ON-LINE Facility.
