Do they ragging the new students at Siliguri College in Darjeeling?

Hi, as per the rules, no senior can ragging new students at any college or university. You must know that ragging is legally prohibited in India. The Supreme Court of India has issued strict guidelines against it, and it is mandatory for institutions to report any incidents of ragging to the police. Punishments for ragging can be severe, including cancellation of admission, suspension, withholding scholarships, and even criminal proceedings.

You need not to worry as Siliguri College has a dedicated Anti-Ragging Cell. This indicates that the college administration is aware of the issue and has a formal mechanism to address it. The contact details, including the email ID (<arc@siliguricollege.in>) and contact numbers of the Principal and other members of the Anti-Ragging Cell, are available on the college's official website. The college's website explicitly states a zero-tolerance policy towards ragging.

The college is affiliated with the University of North Bengal, which has an Anti-Ragging Cell and issues guidelines and circulars to combat ragging. Siliguri College's Anti-Ragging Cell is formed by the Principal and faculty members from several departments. This implies a multifaceted approach to preventing and combating ragging. The Anti-Ragging Cell strives to create a ragging-free environment and investigates complaints.

I hope this is helpful!
