Responding to the appeal of West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose, a team from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is likely to visit Kolkata’s Jadavpur University (JU) shortly to explore the possibilities of eliminating ragging from the campus by using technology.
The Governor had appealed to ISRO to check the possibilities of using technology to eliminate ragging from the university campus after the tragic death of a fresher on August 10.
The first year student of Bengali honours had died after falling from the balcony of a students’ hostel. It is suspected that he became a victim of ragging.
The Governor even personally spoke to top ISRO officials on this matter, who assured him of considering his appeal.
Sources in the Raj Bhavan said they recently got a message from ISO stating that it has decided to send a team which will visit the JU campus, conduct a thorough review of the situation, and accordingly come out with suggestions to eliminate ragging through the use of technology.
