The document discusses issues with ragging in colleges in India. It provides several examples of students who have died by suicide or other means as a result of intense ragging by senior students. Ragging involves physical and mental abuse of junior students and has led some to take their own lives due to feeling they could no longer tolerate the harassment and hazing. The document questions whether this is really providing guidance to newcomers or just causing them to lose dignity and face torture on a daily basis. It is not what first-year students expect or deserve when entering college.

7. BIG ISSUE OF ALL COLLEGES OF TODAY
Nagedra AV, 25, was found dead in Chandigarh's prestigious Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and
Research on 19 April. The doctor had joined this post-graduate institution just two months ago. The police said
he jumped to death from the hostel building, his father said he had been pushed. His father said a day ago he
had said he was finding it difficult to continue there due to ragging.[21]
Satwinder Kumar, 28, ended his life on 3 March. He was a student of the Advanced Training Institute, Mumbai. In
his suicide note he named seven seniors who had ragged him so much that he left for home for Kurukshetra
rather than take mid-term exams. Before he could reach home, he committed suicide by throwing himself
before a goods train in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district.[25] Premlatha, 22, committed suicide by consuming
sulphuric acid in the chemistry lab of the B.S.Abdur Rahman Crescent Engineering College on 5 February. Her
brother singled out one senior, Yogesh, 22, a fourth year student, as the person ragging her the most.[26]
On 7 March, Aman Kachroo, 19, a first year student of Dr Rajendra Prasad Medical
College, Tanda, Kangra, HP, India, had repeatedly complained to his parents about the brutal ragging that took
place on the Medical College campus — often by completely drunk third-year students. On Friday night and
Saturday morning (March 6–7, 2009), the boy was beaten so badly that he died of brain haemorrhage.[31]
