WHAT IS RAGGING

‘Ragging’ means display of disorderly conduct, doing of any act which causes or is likely to

The human rights perspective of ragging involves the injury caused to the fundamental

right to human dignity through humiliation heaped on junior students by seniors; often

resulting in the extreme step of suicide by the victims.

Ragging has several aspects which include psychological, social, political, economic,

cultural and academic dimensions. The political aspect of ragging is apparent from the

State of Rajasthan and Others(JT 1997 (7) SC 384)

HAVING REGARD to the definition of ‘human rights’ in Section 2 (d) of the Protection of

Human Rights Act, 1993,

TAKING NOTE of the fact that the present civil and penal laws in India do not adequately

provide for specific protection of women from sexual harassment in work places and that

enactment of such legislation will take considerable time, It is necessary and expedient for

employers in work places as well as other responsible persons or institutions to observe certain

guidelines to ensure the prevention of sexual harassment of women.

Duty of the Employer or other responsible persons in work places

Duty of the employer or other responsible persons in work places or other

institutions

It shall be the duty of the employer or other responsible persons in workplaces or other

institutions to prevent or deter the commission of acts of sexual harassment and to provide the

procedures for the resolution, settlement or prosecution of acts, of sexual harassment by taking

all steps required.

Definition

Definition For this purpose, sexual harassment includes such unwelcome sexually determined behaviour

(whether directly or by implication) as:

a) Physical contact and advances;

b) A demand or request for sexual favours;

c) Sexually coloured remarks;

d) Showing pornography;

e) Any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature

34

Where any of these acts is committed in circumstances where-under the victim of such conduct

has a reasonable apprehension that in relation to the victim’s employment or work whether she is

drawing salary, or honorarium or voluntary, whether in government, public or private enterprise

such conduct can be humiliating and may constitute a health and safety problem. It is

discriminatory for instance when the woman has reasonable grounds to believe that her objection

would disadvantage her in connection with her employment or work including recruiting or

promotion or when it creates a hostile work environment. Adverse consequences might be

visited if the victim does not consent to the conduct in question or raises any objection thereto.

Preventive steps

Preventive Steps All employers or persons in charge of work place whether in public or private sector should take

appropriate steps to prevent sexual harassment. Without prejudice to the generality of this

obligation they should take the following steps:

A. Express prohibition of sexual harassment as defined above at the work place should be

notified, published and circulated in appropriate ways.

B. The Rules/Regulations of Government and Public Sector bodies relating to conduct and

discipline should include rules/regulations prohibiting sexual harassment and provide for

appropriate penalties in such rules against the offender.

C. As regards private employers, steps should be taken to include the aforesaid prohibitions in

the standing orders under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act,1946.

D. Appropriate work conditions should be provided in respect of work, leisure, health and

hygiene to further ensure that there is no hostile environment towards women at work

places and no employee woman should have reasonable grounds to believe that she is

disadvantaged in connection with her employment.

35

Criminal Proceedings

Criminal Proceedings Where such conduct amounts to a specific offence under the Indian Penal Code or under any

other law, the employer shall initiate appropriate action in accordance with law by making a

complaint with the appropriate authority. In particular, it should ensure that victims or witnesses

are not victimized or discriminated against while dealing with complaints of sexual harassment.

The victims of sexual harassment should have the option to seek transfer of the perpetrator or

their own transfer.

Disciplinary Action

Disciplinary Action Where such conduct amounts to misconduct in employment as defined by the relevant service

rules, appropriate disciplinary action should be initiated by the employer in accordance with

those rules.

appropriate complaint mechanism should be created in the employer’s organisation for redress of

the complaint made by the victim. Such complaint mechanism should ensure time bound

treatment of complaints.

Complaints committee

The complaint mechanism, referred to above, should be adequate to provide, where necessary, a

Complaints Committee, a special counsellor or other support service, including the maintenance

of confidentiality. The Complaints Committee should be headed by a woman and not less than

half of its member should be women. Further, to prevent the possibility of any undue pressure or

influence from senior levels, such Complaints Committee should involve a third party, either

NGO or other body who is familiar with the issue of sexual harassment. The Complaints

Committee must make an annual report to the Government department concerned of the

complaints and action taken by them. The employers and person in charge will also report on the

compliance with the aforesaid guidelines including on the reports of the Complaints Committee

to the Government department.

36

Workers initiative

Worker’s Initiative Employees should be allowed to raise issues of sexual harassment at a workers’ meeting and in

other appropriate forum and it should be affirmatively discussed in Employer-Employee

Meetings.

prominently notifying the guidelines (and appropriate legislation when enacted on the subject) in

a suitable manner.

the employer and person in charge will take all steps necessary and reasonable to assist the

affected person in terms of support and preventive action.

The Central/State Governments are requested to consider adopting suitable measures including

legislation to ensure that the guidelines laid down by this order are also observed by the

employers in Private Sector. These guidelines will not prejudice any rights available under the

Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.

POLICIES FOR MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME

Smt. Kashibai Navale College of Physiotherapy admitted the first batch of Under Graduate

students in the year 2008. Maximum numbers of students were from out of Pune city, staying

away from their family, living at the hostel. In this academic year, assessment of academic

performance of students pointed out that, for few students, in first terminal examination was not

up to the mark.

It was realised that these students definitely needed the help and guidance for their

academic improvement as well as development of personality, which has to be handy and

frequent. In view of this, a mentorship programme was designed. These few needy students were

allotted to the teachers who volunteered to be their mentors.

There was a successful outcome of this specialised mentorship programme. This

mentorship programme definitely helped those students and resulted in improved performance/

grades in the preliminary and the final university examinations. While discussing the benefits of

this mentorship programme we evaluated various problems faced by the students. Mentors

enlisted various causes like home sicknesses, difficulty with the adjustments with new city or the

environment, new friends, classmates, distractions while studying, lack of parental watch etc.

These were the primary reasons as the hurdles for academic growth of students. Along

with this few students reported the language barrier specially, spoken English. Those coming

from small towns with lower socio economical background also had the inhibition to talk and

ask the doubts freely. It was not only the academics; all the students also had their own doubts

and confusions about the many aspects as an adolescent teenager to deal various life time

situations and day today activities.

These findings were emphasised the need of constant guidance and encouragement

programme for all the students including high achievers. Thus from the year 2009, the college

decided to follow this specialised mentorship programme for all the students. After the

admission, all the students are allotted the mentors. Mentors meet the students and talk

informally to know them personally, about their family, parental relationship, their hobbies, their

goals and any weaknesses, if any.
