He said false information will attract stern action. POCSO Act has been implemented by the Centre to prevent atrocities against children. As per the act, erring school management and heads will be face punishment.  He went on to say all educational institutions must have an anti-ragging cell along with anti-ragging squad, committee against atrocities on women, anti-ranging committee, counseling cell as well as follow safety measures such as installation of CCTV cameras, towards prevention of atrocities against children.

A police staff should be a member in anti-ragging committee and lady police staff should be present as a member in the committee against atrocities on women. If the police staff are not present in the committee, such institutions must place a request before the sub-inspector, to depute the police staff.  The antecedents of vehicle drivers should be verified and the non-teaching staff should also be subjected to police verification. An entry- exit register should be duly maintained in every institution. .
