started working in June 2009 to help students in distress due to ragging. It consists of an email id and a 24 hour toll free number. Since many ragging deaths, like Aman Kachroo's, occurred due to seniors taking a revenge of the complaint made, anonymous complaints were equally allowed at the helpline.

Within 15 minutes of receiving the complaint, it is forwarded to the Head of the institution and the local police authorities through phone and email, who take prompt action against the perpetrators of ragging.
