The National Anti-Ragging Helpline was launched by the Indian government following Supreme Court orders. The helpline can be reached through email and a 24-hour toll-free number, which is 1800-180-5522. The main feature of the helpline is that complaints can be registered anonymously. The helpline was created to help victims and take action in cases of ragging, by informing the head of the institution and the local police authorities of the ragging complaint from the college. The database of the Anti-Ragging Helpline indicates that it has been to an extent successful in ensuring a safer environment in colleges from where it registered the complaints.
