This year’s event emphasized our collective commitment to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive academic environment. PRAYAS 2024 was designed not only as a gathering but as a movement aimed at confronting and eradicating the troubling issue of ragging. The event focused on raising awareness, educating participants, and encouraging actionable steps to ensure the well-being and dignity of all students. By concentrating on the theme of anti-ragging, PRAYAS sought to inspire change and promote a culture of respect within educational institutions. The event was comprised with a multitude of activities such as Tableau, Poster-making, Mime and an Expert Talk.

Tableau: An activity tableau, designed around the theme of anti-ragging, is a dynamic and visually engaging presentation that depicts key aspects of the issue and the collective efforts required to address it. It combines visual storytelling with interactive elements to educate and inspire participants about the importance of preventing ragging and fostering a respectful academic environment. The primary objective of the activity tableau, centered around the theme of anti-ragging, is to enhance awareness about the issue of ragging and its detrimental effects on individuals and communities. By contrasting these negative portrayals with scenes of positive, respectful interactions, the tableau seeks to emphasize the importance of kindness and inclusivity. Furthermore, it encourages participants to actively engage in role-playing scenarios and discussions, fostering a deeper understanding of the issue and promoting effective prevention strategies. Through these activities, the tableau aspires to inspire a collective commitment to creating a safer and more respectful academic environment.

Mime: The activity mime, themed around anti-ragging, was a powerful and expressive form of performance art designed to convey the emotional and psychological impact of ragging without the use of spoken words. Mime, with its reliance on gesture, facial expressions, and physical movement, provides a unique medium to illustrate the experiences of those affected by ragging and to promote a culture of respect and understanding within academic settings. The primary objective of the anti-ragging mime activity is to use expressive, non-verbal performance to convey the profound emotional and psychological impact of ragging on individuals. Through vivid and emotive scenes, the mime aims to highlight both the distress experienced by victims of ragging and the contrast with supportive, respectful behavior. By engaging the audience in this visual and emotional representation, the activity seeks to foster empathy, increase awareness, and provoke reflection on the consequences of ragging.

Poster Making: The activity of poster making, centered around the theme of anti-ragging, is a creative and impactful way to raise awareness and advocate for a respectful and inclusive academic environment. Through designing and creating posters, participants express their understanding of the issues related to ragging, promote positive behavior, and encourage collective action against bullying and harassment. The primary objectives of the anti-ragging poster making activity are to creatively and visually communicate the harmful effects of ragging and the importance of preventing it. By designing impactful posters, participants aim to raise awareness about anti-ragging policies and support systems, and inspire individuals to take a stand against bullying and harassment. The activity encourages creative expression while reinforcing messages of inclusivity and respect, ultimately engaging the community in fostering a safer and more supportive academic environment.

It also seeks to outline the legal framework surrounding ragging, including national laws and Supreme Court rulings, to clarify the legal obligations of educational institutions. By detailing the responsibilities of these institutions, the talk emphasizes their role in creating a safe environment through effective anti-ragging policies and support services. Additionally, it empowers students by informing them of their rights and responsibilities and explaining how to report incidents and seek legal recourse.
