๐Ÿšซ SAY NO TO RAGGING | ANTI-RAGGING AWARENESS SESSION ๐Ÿšซ

Gujarat Maritime University (GMU) organized an Anti-Ragging Awareness Session on 12 August 2026 for students to promote a safe, respectful, and inclusive campus environment.

The session was conducted by Dr. Siddharth Warbhuvan, Assistant Professor of Law, who sensitised students about various forms of ragging, including mental, physical and sexual abuse; verbal abuse; indecent behaviour; criminal intimidation; wrongful restraint; financial exploitation; use of force; and acts that undermine human dignity.

Students were also made aware of the serious disciplinary consequences of indulging in or abetting ragging, including admission cancellation, suspension, withdrawal/withholding of scholarships, debarment from examinations, and restrictions on representing the institution.

The session highlighted the role of the Anti-Ragging Committee, GMU, and encouraged students to promptly report any incident or concern related to ragging. The importance of standing together against ragging and supporting fellow students was emphasized throughout the interaction.

At GMU, zero tolerance towards ragging is not just a policy; it is a collective commitment to ensuring dignity, safety, and respect for every student.

Letโ€™s build a campus where everyone feels safe, respected and heard. ๐ŸŒŸ
