|abbreviation=SAVE|region=serving entire India}}Society Against Violence in Education (SAVE) is a non profit organization working for the eradication of ragging and Bullying from educational institutions in India.[1][2][3]Major field(s) :
- Human rights,
- Non violence
- Education
SAVE is possibly the first-registered Anti Ragging NGO in India.[4][5]
It is mainly composed of professionals and students from various fields[1][2][6] who volunteer for the cause over and above their regular jobs/studies.[7]
Formation
Ragging has been taking a huge toll of innocent lives and careers for long. But there had been no single civil movement against the evil of ragging. There were websites and online groups, from where some conscientious youths gave birth to a non profit organisation, which later came to fame in the name of the "No Ragging Foundation". Later, the No Ragging Foundation was registered as the Society Against Violence in Education (SAVE).[8]
Amit Sahai Gangwar, a first year student of NIT-Jalandhar lost his life in October 2005. The news was covered by various media - news channels and dailies. This event had a great impact in the formation of this organization.[9][10][11]
Mission
The Society Against Violence in Education (SAVE) is an impartial, neutral and independent, non-profit organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of students in educational institutions and to provide the victims of 'ragging' with assistance and also to facilitate the eradication of ragging from educational institutions through awareness, advocacy, research and such other avenues.
It works towards the creation of an environment where students can learn with fun and not with fear. It directs its efforts towards elimination of violence and abuses on innocent freshers while promoting peace and harmony among the senior and the juniors students in academic institutions.[7] Objectives
Create a strong public mandate against ragging.
Device alternative but healthy and humane modes of interaction between seniors & juniors.
Unite the isolated protests against ragging under the umbrella of a strong, united movement.
Involve the authorities, faculties, students and others in the anti ragging drives.
[12] Activities
- Awareness - Encouraging healthy interactions and friendly campuses
- Supporting & Empowering the victims and their families
- Consultation to educational institutions in implementing anti-ragging measures.
- Research and training
- Activism, advocacy, etc.[13][14][15]
Awareness - Encouraging healthy interactions and friendly campuses
They spread the awareness against ragging and provide support to the victims. They also promote healthy and humane modes of interactions between the seniors and the juniors. They promote anti-ragging campus units, involving students, class and faculty members.[2][4][16]
SAVE has been arranging awareness events, mainly in educational institutions in different parts of India, involving students, faculty members and other stakeholders.[13][17] Such events serve to empower and encourage the freshers (potential victims) as well as to promote healthy modes of interactions. The events are used to guide institutional authorities, if required, on effectively implementing anti ragging measures in the campus. Faculties and students have admired such events to be very useful for the cause.[18]
SAVE has arranged events in different parts of the country, for example : Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kanpur, Varanasi, Ajmer, Hyderabad, Dehradun, Surat, Pune, Haldia, Durgapur, Howrah, etc.[13][19][20][21][22][23][24]
SAVE has sent thousands of communications to colleges as well.[14]
Supporting & Empowering the victims and their families
For about a decade, SAVE has been supporting the victims of ragging and/or their families in various ways. SAVE volunteers have supported victims in getting their grievances heard. They have played active roles in creating pressure on colleges to take actions and have provided legal and other guidance and assistance to the victims and their families. SAVE keeps in touch with the National (UGC) Anti Ragging Helpline and with its monitoring agency.[14][25][26][27]
SAVE has filed numerous applications under the Right to Information Act, 2005 with institutions as well as statutory bodies. SAVE legal team, led by advocate Mrs. Meera Kaura Patel , has even represented victims in the court and before the National Human Rights Commission of India.
In a case involving the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, following the directions from the hon'ble court, the police had booked the Dean, Director and Registrar were charged charged under IPC Sections 336, 337, 338 (negligence), 120B (conspiracy), 201 (tampering with evidence), 202, 176 (failing to inform a public authority) and 511 (attempting to commit offence).[28]
In another case, from Thanjavur, SAVE Legal Team had requested the hon'ble Chief Justice of Tamil Nadu to take suo motu cognizance of the matter.[29] 5 engineering students were arrested later.[30]
In some cases, SAVE has collaborated with the friends and family members of 'victims', who had lost their lives in 'ragging', to arrange memorial events and to demand proper investigation into the cases.The events were clubbed with signature campaigns seeking a comprehensive national anti ragging legislation.[14][31][32]
In many cases, the colleges have taken actions based on SAVE's recommendations.[33] Some Colleges have been proactively invited SAVE to address their students and faculties. Several colleges have invited SAVE to be part of their anti ragging committee,[34] however it was not possible for SAVE to accept all such offers, considering its limitations, e.g., financial limitations.
