Abstract: Ragging is an evil activity in which students are traumatized in both the ways: physically and mentally. It is punishable in the eyes of both judiciary and legislature. It is highly practiced in medical, engineering and professional colleges or universities. It can be in various forms such as disturbing regular academic activity, physical abuse, indulging in undisciplined activities, financial extortion, group violence, etc. A large number of students go through this torture and end up committing suicides, sexual abuses, violence, and psychological disorders. The methods to be undertaken for knowing the impact of ragging among students and youths is by personally reviewing each of them through survey and questionnaires, which will give and idea about a rough number of students who are aware about ragging and who have actually witnessed it. Also, we can find out if the students are aware about the laws which have been formed by the government for curbing the ragging practices. The students should be made aware about the helpline number or the web portal about anti-ragging which is developed by the government. The actions to diminish the evil of ragging should be undertaken as early as possible, saving infinite students from this torture
