SVIMS Launches Awareness Drive to Curb Ragging
A medical school called SVIMS held a special event to make sure no students are bullied or teased by older students.
The head of the school, Dr. Kumar, explained that bullying is very serious and can get senior students into a lot of trouble.
He also encouraged everyone to be friends and help each other with schoolwork.
A police officer named N Srilatha also attended and told the students that bullying is against the law and that they can tell a teacher if anything happens.
She also talked about online dangers and gave them numbers to call if they need help with cybercrime or drugs.
The event was for all the new and current students and teachers.
