Mangaluru, Jul 28: The city has witnessed an increasing trend in the number of ragging incidents in the colleges here. During the last seven months this year, cases were filed against 40 students in different police stations and they were arrested.

The arrested students include nine arrested from a pharmacy college in the city outskirts, 11 physiotherapy students from a college in Natekal during February, and seven who were taken into custody from an engineering college in Mukka, and a private first grade college in the city during March.

In April this year, allegation of ragging in a hostel of Mangalore University at Konaje was heard but the management intervened in time and settled the matter before the incident turned more serious. Six students from a nursing college were arrested on July 16 on the allegation of ragging a student of the same college.

Most of the students involved with ragging and those who became victims, were from Kerala. Keralites have formed 90 percent of those arrested for ragging this year. The city police commissioner had warned of taking action against college managements if they fail to initiate steps to regulate ragging. The ragging cases however went down after the lockdown but resumed once unlock was announced.

In one of the incidents which happened in February, after senior students of a college ragged their juniors, dean of the college had registered police complaint. Angered by this, senior students had threatened the dean. They also had assaulted lectures who warned of debarring them if they continued ragging activity. Four students had been arrested in that incident.

    Raging cases are increasing because there is no control over students for administration. They are influenced either by the heavy amount of fees or by politics. The rules must be very strict against ragging. There should not be any place or time for the students except for study..

    90 percent of para medical colleges opened in Mangalore only to do business not in the welfare of students. Even degree or PUC colleges opened after 2000 are there only to do business. Most of the students are with cash rich parents.

    There is no point in blaming the college administrations. We have to blame the parents because the growth of a child comes from parents nurturing of children. Time the college implements a system that gives counselling in behavior, talk and discipline to students because parents cannot do it as they have produced an idiot. They don't how to streamline their kids.

    College Managements can if they want stop this ragging in a single day by rusticating these students. But they have taken capitation fees especially from the rich malayalees who think their money can cover a multitude of sins. Cops are scared to act as management is linked to political figures or business magnates.

    The issue will persist as there are no defined consequences. Erring students are verbally warned and let off, most times these Seniors are the ones who have been victims themselves. There must be stringent rules in place , maybe a contract signed when students seek admission that if they indulge in these activities they will face the consequences as well.

    Many cases are not reported, due to negligence of management. In such cases, students should directly visit nearest police station and give comlaint against the culprits as well as management.

    Mangalore is close to border of Kerala. Keralites come here for higher education. Instead of being grateful for the state that provides them with education, they do these atrocities. Is there any reason for such behaviour?
