Dear Friends, Really, it is a good achievement of efforts done by this esteemed group to spread out awareness of the heinous face of the ragging. We should all set our hands together for proper implementation of the Honourable S.C.'s Rule. Regards. B.D.Sharma Chandigarh.

The SC has given directions to operationalize the Raghavan Committee recommendations. CURE had actively worked with the Raghavan Committee to get this report out. This is good news for all of us.... We can just hope that the government will put genuine efforts in enforcement and CURE shall extend its services in whatever way it can to make the plan successful. NDTV had organized a talk show on the same issue, where CURE was represented by Co-founder, Harsh Agarwal. Harsh did a brilliant job in bringing out the subtler points of the issue out on the show. Dr. Raghavan also made some very pertinent points, although surprisingly he thought his own recommendations will not see operational success! See video here: http://www.ndtv. com/convergence/ ndtv/video/video.aspx?id=54924 Keep the drive on... Ragging should be a thing of the past!
