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.
