VINDHYA STANDS ON RAGGING

Ragging is termed as a social evil which predominates mainly the Higher Educational Institutions and is a cognizable offence under the law. No conscious and wise person will ever hesitate to fight against it. Vindhya Group of Institutions is also not lagging behind to join this mission to eradicate the social evil from the society and pledges to have a “Complete Ragging Free” Institution at all spheres. This will, no doubt, guarantee equal opportunities and highest regard for human rights which is considered as the most important milestone towards effective learning and acquiring practical knowledge.
