NMC tells Medical Colleges to observe Anti-ragging day on August 12, Week-long activities to follow- Details
Through a public notice, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has asked medical colleges to observe the Anti-Ragging Day on 12th August, and Anti-Ragging Week from 12th to 18th August 2025.
The University Grant Commission (UGC) decided in 2023 that Anti Ragging Day would be observed on 12th August, followed by Anti Ragging Week. This initiative is one of the tools of the Commission to increase awareness against ragging.
As per the notice, NMC has informed that to prevent ragging, the UGC has framed regulations on curbing the menace of ragging in Higher Educational Institutions. These regulations are mandatory, and all Institutions are required to take necessary steps for their implementation in toto, including the monitoring mechanism, as per provisions, and ensure their strict compliance. The UGC has also taken several proactive steps, including the effective launch of media campaigns and awareness activities for preventing ragging. Videos on anti-ragging are also uploaded on the UGC website for use by Higher Educational Institutions.
