Discipline
Discipline is regarded as one of the fundamental principles of education at
Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira. The objective of discipline is not merely
to enforce rules, but to cultivate self-control, responsibility, punctuality,
mutual respect and an ideal residential atmosphere where students can grow
intellectually, morally and spiritually.
Every resident student is expected to follow the rules of the College and
the Hostel sincerely so that academic excellence, harmonious living and
character formation may flourish in an atmosphere of peace and cooperation.
General Discipline
Students must conform to the rules and discipline of the College and the Hostel. The purpose of discipline is to help students develop their potential in an orderly manner and maintain a peaceful academic atmosphere.
Every student shall regulate his daily life according to the prescribed routine for study, work and prayer, maintaining punctuality and simplicity in all matters.
Absence from classes while remaining in the hostel is considered a serious offence unless specifically permitted by the Superintendent or the Principal.
No student is permitted to leave the College campus during College hours without prior permission from the competent authority.
Students leaving the hostel must record the necessary details in the Hostel Leave Register before departure.
Hostel Regulations
Remaining absent from the hostel on the reopening day after vacations without permission is treated as a disciplinary offence.
Students are generally allowed to return home only during Summer, Puja and Winter vacations. Frequent home-going is discouraged.
Students are not permitted to stay outside the hostel after dusk except under special circumstances with proper approval.
Students recommended by the Hostel Superintendent may be permitted to stay in the hostel after examinations until publication of results.
Students should avoid keeping large amounts of cash or valuables with them. The authorities are not responsible for any loss.
Academic & Personal Conduct
Prior permission from the Principal or Vice-Principal is necessary before organizing or participating in any programme other than officially approved activities.
The use of mobile phones, radios, sound systems and similar electronic devices by students in the College and hostels is strictly prohibited.
Newspapers, magazines and periodicals should be purchased only with the permission of the concerned Hostel Superintendent.
Being a residential institution under the Ramakrishna Mission, students must keep themselves completely away from all forms of political activity.
Students whose academic progress, discipline or conduct is found unsatisfactory may be subjected to disciplinary measures, including removal from the College whenever necessary.
Important Regulations
Private tuition is discouraged. Except under exceptional circumstances, students are not permitted to receive private coaching.
Every boarder is expected to have received tetanus toxoid vaccination. Students suffering from any chronic illness must report the same before admission.
Hostel furniture must not be shifted or removed without the permission of the Hostel Superintendent. Any damage to hostel property is liable to fine.
Every boarder must keep his room neat, clean and properly arranged. Students are also expected to wash their own utensils after meals and keep them in their proper places.
The Spirit of Discipline
At Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira, discipline is regarded as an essential
part of education. It is intended to cultivate self-control, responsibility,
honesty, punctuality and mutual respect rather than merely enforcing rules.
The disciplined residential environment enables students to develop strong
character, leadership qualities and a lifelong commitment to ethical values
and service to society.
