Ragging of freshmen in academic institutions by senior students is rampant in Indian Colleges. Ragging has taken many shapes including physical violence, sexual abuse and humiliation and milder form of pressurizing juniors to do Term Papers etc. Several steps taken by authorities so far have not improved matters. Even deaths due to ragging continue to be reported.
University Grants Commission has set up a toll free Helpline for dealing with Ragging. Any victim of ragging can ring up the toll free number 18001805522 or send an email to: helpline at antiragging dot net. The helpline will be operational 24 hours. Immediate action will be taken within fifteen minutes by alerting appropriate authorities, be it the head of the educational institution, the district collector or the police. Monitoring the progress of follow up activities by all concerned is also included.
The Anti Ragging Guidelines issued by UGC defines Ragging in a broader way to consider all activities that constitute ragging.
They are applicable to all educational institutions both in government and public sectors including transport facilities. The culprits when found guilty may be rusticated for four sessions or fined up to 2.5 LakhsThe Supreme Court recommended setting up of such a helpline only in May 2009. The Helpline is already in place, well ahead of next academic session. UGC and the ministry of HRD must be complimented on this fast move. Reports of appreciation and high hopes have come in from all sections like Students, Educational authorities and social activists.
The Helpline will speed up booking of culprits, investigations and such follow up actions. Success in this sphere may improve compliance on the part of college authorities; may encourage more victims to register their complaints. This may also bring about some transparency as the progress investigation of cases of ragging will be on the website for everyone to see.
However, preventing ragging can be achieved only changing the mindset of students. The same students (when they enter the college) who protest and detest ragging by seniors (They should - there no two opinions about it), when they become seniors, engage in ugly ragging. This is a psychological problem of just feeling superior. Only consistent counseling constant vigil may prevent ragging.

I will be a sophomore in college next year and was wondering about the benefits of receiving student loans. I was entitled to receive one last year, but did not apply for one because I was fearful of getting in debt (I come from a low income background). However, I worked practically full time for 6 months and earned less than $ 4,000, most of which went directly to school related expenses (gas, food, books, lab fees, school supplies). Also, because I worked full time I wasn't able to meet as many new people as I would have liked, and did not have the time to partake in extracurriculars. Next term I want to join a few clubs: Chicanos for Community Medicine Helpline Student Philosophy Society Hermanas Unidas MeCha V-Day and work as tutor for high school students. I also want to live on campus because that would save me some gas money, and would allow me to study at the library instead of a crowded, noisy home environment. Best answer for What are the benefits of student loans?:
Answer by idunknowla
i believe, since you come from a low income background, you should receive some assistance from FAFSA/ fina. aid. as for student loans, the upside about it is that you dont need to pay a single penny (depending on which type of student loan it is) until you graduate/leave school.
Answer by Found-1
It might be possible, if you have applied for fafsa early enough and get enough grant money, and you school is not terribly expensive. Contact your schools fin aid office and ask if you can do a Perkins loan and a stafford loan and maybe get the Pell and a state grant as well. There are really no benefits to student loans besides being able to afford school. If you choose to do this (or at least see what they offer you) you should do this to get the most of your "Borrowed" time in college. 1. Understand now its about survival. It's time to canc the cell phone and stop all extras. If you can't do this don't borrow money to go to college. 2. Be sure to check into doing on campus work study if you can. 3. Be sure to enroll in the max amount of hours (at least 15 to 18) so you are finishing quickly. 4. College is about study groups. Don't enroll in a club unless the people there are in your classes and can somehow help you get better grades, find a job, volunteering is good, but hardly worth it if you are failing your math class. 5. Understand once you do borrow. You are committing your self to graduating. Period. Even if you get into a car accident and break every bone in your body, the day you get out of the hospital have someone push your wheelchair into class. the student loan companies don't care about anything except getting your money once you drop out or graduate. Add up the tuition and fees for 18 hours, dorms, meal plan, fees, books. Then add up how much grants, scholarships, and loans you are being offered. If you can do it... then do it. If not.. you might want to wait until you are a junior. As a junior you are able to borrow more money than as a sophomore.
