‘ RAG’ means ‘Raise and Give’ day. 

Today, students were seen in their numbers wearing tattered clothes in order to appear funny and at the same time cut a picture of people in distress.

The act, undoubtedly make individual and passersby see reasons to donate some money to them and they appear as though they are beggars in their torn dresses walking around the cities, towns and roam the streets endlessly in groups or individually.

Some students now see it as opportunity to catch fun and experience some form of excitement with the money realized while others particularly those who are having financial difficulties make use of such exercise to seek for donations from the public.

In desperation, some students travelled as far as they could go during the exercise just to make enough money and it had unfortunately resulted to several students involving in road crashes.
