Bare Act

The Goa Prohibition of Ragging Act, 2008

This Act aims to completely ban ragging, which includes any disorderly conduct that teases, treats rudely, or causes psychological harm to students, particularly freshers. It applies to all educational institutions in Goa, including colleges, schools, and hostels, covering both senior students and those new to the institution. The law mandates that schools must take strict preventive measures, such as banning ragging in admission forms and creating awareness among students and parents. By criminalizing such behavior and requiring institutions to act, the Act seeks to ensure a safe and harassment-free environment for all students in the state.
