HISTORY

CURE began in July 2001,[1] in Delhi, and has grown to a membership of several hundreds, 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.
