Effect of anti-ragging program

Ragging, a form of student misconduct defined by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India, poses significant threats to mental and physical well-being, with severe consequences including death. In response, UGC established measures including toll-free helplines and anti-ragging programs. This study assesses the effectiveness of an anti-ragging lecture through a questionnaire survey of students. Results indicate a moderate improvement in awareness post-lecture. Statistical analysis using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) reveals significance (p≤0.05) in understanding ragging implications. Despite limitations in response rate, findings suggest the lecture's potential to enhance students' perception and response to ragging, emphasizing the importance of continued educational efforts to combat this pervasive issue.
