Anti-ragging mobile app launched in Keralam

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With the aim to strengthen student safety, the government on Wednesday launched a mobile app that allows students to anonymously report ragging and other campus-related grievances. It has been named after JS Siddharth, who died allegedly by suicide in 2024 following ragging at College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Wayanad.

The government also launched a project to establish 300 science centres across the state to promote scientific temper and inquiry-based learning among young people.
