In a decisive move to combat the increasing incidents of bullying and harassment in schools, the Kerala state government has announced plans to establish dedicated anti-ragging cells in educational institutions across the state. This initiative is part of a broader strategy aimed at creating a safer, more supportive environment for students.
The government is closely monitoring the alarming rise in bullying cases and is considering enhanced measures to bolster existing anti-ragging frameworks. These measures will include awareness campaigns for students, teachers, and staff, along with a formalized reporting system to ensure swift action against offenders.
Education Minister V. Sivankutty assured that the government would collaborate with school authorities to effectively implement these cells and provide necessary support to victims of harassment. Authorities are also exploring stricter regulations to ensure immediate and effective responses to bullying incidents.
This decision comes in response to growing concerns raised by parents, educators, and student organizations over the surge in bullying cases, with the state determined to address the issue and foster a more secure educational environment.
