Anti-Ragging Cell

BGS Institute of Hotel Management has zero tolerance policy for ragging. The Institute views ragging as an uncivilized, and inhuman practice. We do not subscribe to the view that one could wait till something happens in order to initiate stringent action. Any rigorous action in such cases may damage a young career. So, we repose faith in averting such eventualities. For this, the Institute has a proactive policy. 

Preventive measures had been devised during the last couple of years to eliminate all possibilities of the occurrence of such a ghastly incident even in its mildest form. The measures have been implemented effectively to rule out any incident of ragging to be attempted by senior students at any place inside the campus. For making ragging non-grata at BGSIHM, all stakeholders viz. management, faculty, students and employees are involved to create an environment.

  • “Ragging in all its forms is totally banned in this institution and all its premises (academic, residential, sports, canteen/cafeteria and the like) whether located within the campus or outside and in all means of transportation of students whether public or private.” 
  • Students and parents need not harbor undue apprehensions in this regard.  They should report any incident immediately to the college authorities and stringent punishment will be meted out to the culprit(s). 
  • “IF any incident of ragging comes to the notice of the authority, the concerned student shall be given liberty to explain and if his / her explanation is not found satisfactory, the authority would subject him / her to suitable punishment.” 

To be vigilant on all the activities of the students in regard to ragging, we have formed ragging prevention committee headed by the Principal, Head of the Departments, representative from local police station, representative from civil administration, warden and senior faculty of the Institution, anti-ragging squad comprising of boys’ and girls’ hostel,  library, student mentoring cell and student advisor group. The first-year students and parents can freely contact and seek help from anybody at any time with respect to ragging.   

Hoardings displayed at different places in the campus speaks itself about the Institution concern towards curbing the menace of ragging. 

As per the direction of the honorable Supreme Court of India, the institute will strictly follow the “AICTE Regulation on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Educational Institutions “. 

In accordance with these regulations the affidavits from the students as well as parents / guardian are taken. These affidavits duly filled in, signed and sworn by student and parent/guardian are to be submitted at the time of registration. Regular coordinator meetings will be convened to discuss the issues if any.
