New Delhi:
President Pratibha Patil Thursday called for zero tolerance
against ragging in the country.
Speaking at a seminar attended by the vice-chancellors of several
central varsities, directors of Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs),
Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and others, Patil called
for completely eliminating the menace of ragging.

vitiating the educational atmosphere, needs to be completely
eliminated," she said.

institutions will work towards it with all sincerity.
