Sommer (1969) and Romine (1972) have touched upon the study pattern and frequency of drugs being

taken by the hostellers in the hostels. In their studies, they have not been able to establish whether such habits were the outcome of the effect of hostel-life. Lipkins (2006) emphasized the need to talk, talk and keep talking about ragging. The more aware others become, the more likely it is that the culture will change and to include methods and techniques to help parents, teachers, and coaches prevent ragging in their communities. She has evaluated with clarity and passion uncovers the deep roots of ragging, how and why it permeates schools, colleges and communities year after year and focused how to recognize the warning signs, what do if a child/student has been involved in a ragging ( either as a victim, bystander, or perpetrator) how to deal with the moral, legal, and emotional aspects of ragging and ultimately, how to heal and move forward both as individual and as community. Sheras and Tippins (2002) examines bullying from many angles and provides thoughtful, practical advice for all parents of school age children. Nuwer (1999) examines alcohol misuse as well as ragging, because drinking is often a factor when collegians die as a result of roof fails, vehicular accidents, and fraternal rituals ( such as bottle exchanges) behavior in an attempt to illuminate the fraternities and sororities apparent need to rag and submit to ragging or to drink and others drink. Ghosh (1993) has given brilliant exposure of the ragging problem and its vicious effect on the campus. He has also made a comparative analysis of the prevalence of the malady by sumptuously dealing with the American campus of over a century. He has also suggested remedies both judicial and administrative and has given a guideline for the campus administrators and the police for grappling with the problem. The malady requires a firm hand to eradicate. He has bestowed his attention on such a social evil which is spoiling the quiet of the education centres. .Allan and Madden (2008) in their study found that ragging is a complex issue and a problem that can interfere with the health and safety of students and impede the development of a positive campus climate. These studies indicates further analysis of the ragging study data and examine the other aspects e, g., gender differences, high school experiences, recommendations for ragging preventions, ragging within particular

types of student groups and regional and institutional type comparisons of student ragging, in more depth. This study also provided the opportunity for researchers to test sampling strategies and data collection instruments. It also provided insights into ragging that will be further investigated in the national study. Zimbardo (2007) point out that individuals are not absolved of their actions, but in effecting positive change into understand the effects of situational, social, and systemic
