The district of Palghar in Maharashtra has recently been rocked by allegations of ragging in the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV). According to the school’s principal George Abraham, there are complaints against five students for ragging their peers, leading to an investigation being launched.
The JNV is a system of schools under the union government, most of which are located in rural parts of the country. Unfortunately, this incident has exposed a lack of effective anti-ragging measures in place.
Though the school’s principal has assured that action will be taken against the guilty after the ongoing exams are over, the incident has raised questions about the safety of students in such educational institutions. Ragging is a serious offence and any attempts to bully or intimidate students should be taken seriously and dealt with immediately.
It is essential that schools and other educational institutions take steps to ensure that such malicious behaviour is not only prevented but also punished adequately. Students should also be encouraged to report any such incidents, and only then can we create a safe and secure learning environment.
