Time to do a thorough cleanup of all the universities. Chase out the trouble makers who are not there for studies. Also restrict the time frame for each degree not allowing to misuse the facilities and stay there for years and years.

Some pro rag members are paid by a certain political party which is a known fact for years. That's why they are powerful. Their main target is to brainwash the new comers to get their political agendas fulfilled.

RAGGING MUST BE WIPED OUT OF UNIVERSITIES AND ALL SCHOOLS. Tuesday, 06 May 2025 05:28 PM

DEGREES come in different shapes and sizes, it is not one size fits all and set for X no. of years accordingly. It may be hard to shorten the time frame in most instances. If we start shortening DEGREES, one will find that some of those who pass out will not be as productive as others, if rushed through and we will find those who are a bit slow to grasp will be left behind. We need to have HARSH RULES in Universities, such as get caught RAGGING and you will be kicked out and removed from the course. Parents send their children to Universities selling what little they own with the hope their child will go into the world and be a productive citizen in society.
