So far – no work has been done in this regard. 5. Exceptionally high numbers of complaints continue to be received from Medical Colleges across the country. 28 complaints were received in this quarter alone. 6. On awareness the Trust has two dedicated internet lease lines that send 150000 e-mails per day to students & parents to create awareness against Ragging. This is a very successful awareness model. We are directly targeting the students & their parents. 7. Our Social Media platforms are also very active. The Aman Movement facebook is active. Slowly students & parents are connecting to it.

It is true to say that more colleges are responding & now roughly 80% complaints are closed at the Monitoring Level. Details of those colleges, during this quarter, that have responded & cooperated with the Monitoring Agency & for whom cases were satisfactorily resolved are given in Annex – 2. The details of those colleges – whose cases had to be escalated to UGC , during this quarter, – are listed in Annex – 3 4. 20% of complaints that are escalated to the Regulatory Authorities are those complaints where (i) either the College Authorities have refused to cooperate with the Monitoring Agency or (ii) the complainant is not satisfied with the action that has been taken by the College Authorities. Colleges that do not respond or colleges who refuse to recognize the authority of the “Ragging Prevention Program” get away without being asked by UGC as to why they have chosen to reject the UGC regulations? It is unfair on those colleges that are law abiding & cooperative.
