Introduction
At Bapujee College, Sarukshetri, we are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and nurturing academic environment for all students. In compliance with the directives of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and the University Grants Commission (UGC), our Anti-Ragging Cell follows a 'Zero-Tolerance Policy' toward any act of ragging.
Ragging is a criminal offence that undermines the dignity of students and can have severe psychological and physical consequences. Our cell ensures that every fresher feels secure and welcomed as they begin their journey at our institution.

• Rowdy or undisciplined activities causing hardship or psychological harm.
• Forcing a student to perform acts that generate a sense of shame or embarrassment.
