You can also ask the local police through RTI what action has been taken if you have made any complaint to it. You can even ask the college reasons why the anti-ragging squad does not conduct surprise checks at night, why complaint boxes have not been kept at various locations at the college, or why the seniors found indulged in ragging have been given a very mild punishment. You can ask why the various anti-ragging steps as mandated by UGC’s anti-ragging regulation are not being implemented by the college. Remember, the fight against ragging is in your own hands!

An RTI application generally doesn’t cost much and the entire process is completed in Rs. 50 only. If you do not wish to disclose your name, you can make any of your friend/ cousin apply for you.
