Sessions Judge advises students to stop ragging

Nagercoil: District Principal Sessions Judge Saravanan has urged the students to change the perception of influencing hostility in the name of ragging.

Addressing medical and nursing college students at an anti-ragging awareness programme at Kanyakumari Government Medical College Hospital at Asaripallam recently, Saravanan said that it was disheartening to hear students succumbing to the ‘ragging menace’, particularly in Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram.

As medical service to humanity was a noble service to the God himself, medical students should not indulge in ragging that could ruin their careers and life itself.

As a sign of fighting the menace, students of medical and nursing colleges took an anti-ragging oath, signed an accord promising to refrain from ragging and submitted to the judge.

District Principal Judicial Judge Shanmugham, Nagercoil Bar Association president Joseph Benedict and College Superintendent Satheesh participated.
