The Supreme Court of India has made the following recommendation for immediate implementation:

• The punishment to be meted out has to be exemplary and justifiably harsh to act as a deterrent against recurrence of such incidents;
• Courts should make an effort to ensure that cases involving ragging are taken up on priority basis to send the correct message that the ragging is not only to be discouraged but also to be dealt with sternness;
• In the prospectus to be issued for admission by educational institution, it shall be clearly stipulated that in case the applicant for admission is found to have indulged in ragging in the past or if it is noticed later that he has indulged in ragging, admission may be refused or he/shall be expelled from the educational institution;
• Role of the concerned institution shall also be open to scrutiny for the purpose of finding out whether they have taken effective steps for preventing ragging and in case of their failure, action can be taken against them too.

NIPERs are committed at removing ragging in all forms in compliance with the guidelines laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court of the country.
