In response to a surge in bullying and harassment incidents in schools, the Kerala state government is planning to establish dedicated anti-ragging cells across educational institutions. The move comes as part of a comprehensive effort to tackle student harassment and create a safer environment for students.
The government is closely monitoring the situation and is considering a series of measures to strengthen existing anti-ragging mechanisms. These new initiatives are expected to include awareness programs for students, teachers, and staff members, along with a formalized reporting system for complaints of bullying.
Education Minister V. Sivankutty assured that the government would work closely with school authorities to ensure the implementation of these cells and provide the necessary support to students who face harassment. Authorities are also contemplating stricter regulations to ensure immediate action in cases of bullying and to prevent further incidents.
The decision follows alarming reports of bullying incidents in schools, which have raised concerns among parents, educators, and student bodies. The state aims to address the issue proactively and create a safer and more supportive environment in educational institutions.
