Sukhi Ram and Mrs. Sirya Devi, Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram was a renowned educationist and named as the father of reforms for farmers and downtrodden. He established Jat Anglo Sansthan on 26th March, 1913 after completion of his graduation in Law. In pre-independent Combined Punjab, he was as Development Minister from 1937 to 1945. He was conferred with prestigious awards like Rai Bahadur (1919), Deenbandhu (1942), Rehbar-e-azam (1944). Besides being a luminary figure who made substantial reforms for agriculture and education, he was involved in various developmental projects and policy formulations, including the important Bhakhra Nangal Hydroelectric Power Project. The Government of Haryana has named the University after this illustrious son of the soil. His humanitarian achievements inspire and motivate everyone to work sincerely with dedication for the inclusive growth and overall progress of the nation. My dear students and colleagues, The Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology, Murthal (Sonepat) is imparting education in the areas of Engineering, Science, Management, Humanities and Architecture at UG, PG and Ph.D. level on the campus. Besides, professional colleges of Sonepat district affiliated to the university are our extended family. In the modern technological era, e-learning and e-governance are essential ingredients to keep pace with the fast growing global economy. From the coming academic session 2014-15, we have started with online admissions for PG and Ph.D. programmes. Applicants can submit online applications by accessing the university website from anywhere in the country and abroad. We, at the University, are very conscious of the fact that the students are the key stake holders. Our focus in teaching, research and development is essentially ‘student-centric’. The interest of students is of prime importance to us, so much so that, now students are welcome to see Vice Chancellor anytime without taking prior appointments. Creation of knowledge through research and development, together with giving quality education, to the students is prime importance for the faculty members. We are very much aware of it and are giving thrust to knowledge creation and dissemination. Growth of knowledge is very fast in the modern era and hence, faculty and the staff members are encouraged to keep abreast with the contemporary knowledge. Teaching and research laboratories are regularly updated to cater to the needs of the students at all levels. Inclusive growth of the society is important for the overall development of our great country. We are consciously pursuing this goal on the campus through programmes of social relevance. The university has made a humble beginning to reach out to the under privileged, especially the children of labour class and other weaker sections of the society. ‘SAVERA’ is one such initiative where the university students teach voluntarily the children of labourers working on the university campus and those coming from the adjoining areas. We would like to extend and expand such activities beyond the university campus. I am confident that we all together will continue our accelerated pace to ensure and upgrade quality with visionary approach for excellence. For us, education is not just merely to earn a degree but it is an attitude and aptitude, a way of life. I extend my hearty welcome to all those who would join the university afresh in the coming session and to those who would continue in the next semesters. My best wishes to one and all! Dr. R.P.

ANTI-RAGGING GUIDELINES AND MEASURES As per judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court, “Ragging shall be constructed as an act of sadistic pleasure or showing off power, authority, or superiority by senior students over their juniors or freshers”. Ragging in any form – teasing physically, psychologically or by spoken or words is absolutely prohibited in the University campus and hostels. If any incidents of ragging come to the notice of the authority, the concerned students shall be given an opportunity to explain to the Proctorial team and if their explanation is not found satisfactory, the authority would rusticate the defaulters from the University. However, in compliance of the recent instructions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, once a student is found prima facie involved in ragging he/she would be immediately suspended from the University and the Hostel. The matter will mandatorily be reported to the police and criminal law set into motion. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS AND DON’TS WITH REGARD TO RAGGING What amounts to ragging? Any action by senior(s) individually or in a group, that may cause a fresher/ junior any sort of physical, mental or psychological discomfort, amounts to ragging. A student must desist from following actions: Forced Activity 1. Physical abuse - forcing a junior/ fresher to drink, eat or smoke, dress in a particular manner or undress. 2. Verbal abuse – asking to swear words & phrases, to make direct or indirect derogatory references to someone’s appearance, attire, religion, cast, family, etc. 3. Pressurizing junior/ fresher for singing, dancing, reading or browsing pornographic/ objectionable material or asking to interact with strangers, particularly of opposite sex, or performing in any other way such as forcing one to use foul language or shouting or cheering in any event. 4. Asking juniors for copying notes or assignments, cleaning rooms or clothes, etc. 5. Visiting fresher’s room or inviting fresher to visit one’s room for interaction without the knowledge of hostel authorities (Supervisors / Warden / Chief Warden). 6. Involving fresher in singing, dancing, and mimickering or performing in any manner under the guise of talent search or interaction. 31 Activity related to Lifestyle 1. Compelling fresher to interact in a particular fashion, e.g., asking to address a senior sir or Ma’am. 2. Imposing or not permitting certain kinds of dress on fresher or specific accessories such as jeans, belts, caps, turbans, etc. for freshers / juniors. 3. Enforcing rules regarding hairstyle, shaving or oiling hair, or applying pastes, mud, etc. 4. Restricting fresher the access to certain parts of the hostel, e.g., common room, etc. PLAYING OF MIND GAMES A particular form of interaction in which a senior or a group of seniors manipulate the conversation so as to humiliate the fresher or make him/ her feel stupid or insecure or threatened is strictly prohibited. Friendly interaction by senior with fresher which facilitates academic ambience inside hostel and in academic premises is highly appreciated, however, to ward off derailment from the intended purpose, it is advisable that such interaction be undertaken in the presence of Warden or his authorized person / team. MEASURES ADOPTED TO CURB RAGGING University has an elaborate mechanism to tackle the problem of ragging and remain successful in making the campus ragging-free. The mechanism and measures adopted are: 1. Escort teams to accompany the fresher students: All freshers are escorted from the hostel to teaching blocks and back to the hostel under the supervision of escort teams consisting mostly of technical staff three times every working day, i.e., at the start of the first class, then for the lunch, and at the end of the last class. Similarly, escort team consisting of lady staff under the supervision of the hostel matron escorts newly admitted girl students from girls’ hostel to teaching blocks and back. The mechanism remains operational continually till proneness to ragging persists. 2. Proctorial Team: A proctorial team consisting of faculty from different departments remains vigilant in various teaching blocks with two objectives – (i) to prevent any kind of ragging and (ii) interact with the senior students to help curb ragging and report any incidents to the Proctor. 3. Surprise inspection teams – Several teams comprising of senior faculty members are in place to make surprise checks in hostels on each day of the week. 4. Raiding teams in Hostels: Towards curbing ragging in hostels, anti-ragging groups, each consisting of two faculty members, remain always present in hostel premises on roaster basis during 5pm till 12 night. This mechanism remains operational continually for two months. Its continuation is again reviewed and decision taken accordingly. In addition to this, hostel personnel maintain round-the-clock vigilance, and particularly after 12.00 in the night, in the supervision of the Hostel Warden and / or his authorized personnel / team. 32 ANNEXURE –I CHARACTER/BONAFIDE CERTIFICATE (From the institution last attended) Certified that Sh./Km./Smt./____________________________________________ son/daughter of Shri_______________________________________________________________has been a bonafide student of this School/College during the period _______________________.
