Anti Ragging Week

At IQ City Medical College, Durgapur, every student deserves to learn and grow in an environment built on dignity, respect, and trust. Upholding this commitment, the college observed Anti-Ragging Week from 12th to 18th August 2025 — a dedicated week of awareness, reflection, and collective resolve against ragging in all its forms.

The week-long initiative was conducted in accordance with the directives of the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the University Grants Commission (UGC), which require all medical institutions to actively promote ragging-free campuses. Students, faculty, and administrative staff came together under one shared message: Ragging is punishable by law — and it has no place here.

Throughout the week, the college organised a series of impactful activities. Awareness seminars were held in the college auditorium, where faculty members guided students through the legal consequences of ragging, its lasting psychological harm on victims, and the robust support systems available on campus. A highlight of the programme was a live virtual session that connected the college community with medical education authorities at the national level, reinforcing that the fight against ragging extends far beyond the campus gates.

One of the most meaningful moments of the week was the Anti-Ragging Pledge Ceremony, where students and staff stood together and formally committed to upholding a safe and inclusive environment for all. Across the campus, standees and banners carried the week's defining message:

"Respect. Support. Uplift. Say No to Ragging — Say Yes to a Positive Campus Culture."

At IQ City Medical College, we believe that the years spent studying medicine should be defined by mentorship and camaraderie — never by intimidation or fear. Students are encouraged to report any incident of ragging to the Anti-Ragging Committee on campus or through the UGC Helpline: 1800-180-5522.
