UGC has also advised institutes to strengthen anti-ragging mechanisms through adequate publicity through various mediums, such as the formation of an anti-ragging committee and an anti-ragging squad, the establishment of an anti-ragging cell, the installation of CCTV cameras at critical points, anti-ragging workshops and seminars, the updating of all websites with complete details of nodal officers, alarm bells, and so on. Regular engagement and counselling with students, the identification of trouble-triggers, and the inclusion of anti-ragging warnings in the institution's E-prospectus and E-information booklets/brochures are all required.
