Cross-Country Anti-Ragging Campaign

India's proposed longest running anti-ragging bus will be traveling across 11 cities in India, and will cover over 45 colleges.
Hyderabad | 23rd August 2010
Muthoot Pappachan Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Muthoot Pappachan Group, today, flagged off India's first national campaign against ragging at Nizam College, Basheerbagh. After the flag-off in New Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai and Pune, the bus will visit colleges in Hyderabad for 2 days.

This ongoing month-long campaign is a platform for student communities across the nation to speak up against ragging and take a pledge that they will not rag their juniors. Dr. Akun Sabharwal, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad, flagged off the event along with M Madhu (Regional Manager – Hyderabad, Muthoot Pappachan Group).

Speaking about the flag-off at Hyderabad, Thomas George Muthoot (Director, Muthoot Pappachan Group) said, "Year-on-year, after the commencement of the new academic year, the menace of ragging is ever-increasing. Having understood the intensity of this menace, as a socially responsible organization, we wanted to approach this issue and take action. We are serious about the anti-ragging campaign; all of us are affected by the menace, a lot more than many students or their parents are willing to admit."

He also added, "We have received good response from New Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai and Pune colleges so far, and have received more than 10,000 signatures from students who have pledged that they will not rag their juniors."

India's proposed longest running anti-ragging bus will be traveling across 11 cities in India, and will cover over 45 colleges, to garner support from student communities through a signature campaign.

The 'Bus Aur Nahin' anti-ragging road show will be supported by 2 short public service films that will be telecast over major national news and youth-focused channels. The entire campaign is being rolled out by Muthoot Pappachan Foundation.
