The Coalition to Uproot Ragging from Education (CURE) is a voluntary, non-profit NGO in India, dedicated to the elimination of ragging in India.

History

CURE began in July 2001,^[1] in Delhi, and has grown to a membership of 470, mostly students.

In February 2007, CURE reported to the Supreme Court appointed Raghavan committee on ways to prevent ragging in Indian universities,^[1] highlighting the prevalence of physical and sexual abuse in the name of ragging.^[2] CURE also highlighted institutional unwillingness to acknowledge ragging,^[3] citing loss of reputation as their reason.

Goals and research

CURE's stated goals are to create awareness about ragging and its ill-effects, provide alternate means of interaction to Indian students and censure those involved in ragging. Their research points to ragging as not being "harmless fun",^[4] but the cause of 25 suicides in 7 years^[3]
