Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell

Gender sensitisation refers to the refinement and modification of behaviour by raising awareness of gender equality concerns. Sexual harassment is considered as a violation of a woman’s fundamental right to equality. Sexual harassment in the workplace creates an insecure and adverse working environment thereby discouraging women’s participation in work and hampering social and economic growth. In 1997, the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s judgement on Sexual Harassment at Workplace (Vishaka Vs. State of Rajasthan), led to the formulation of Vishaka Guidelines. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 was made effective from December 2013 by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Govt. of India.

Giving due consideration to all these facts, the College initially constituted a Gender Sensitisation Cell to initiate steps in this matter. Prior to this, it was part under the Disciplinary Sub-Committee of the College to look into these matters. Fortunately, no such matters were reported so far.

Now, the Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell/Sexual Harassment Prevention Cell was set up in our college and it was formed as per Vishaka Guidelines against Sexual Harassment in the Workplace following the judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court for protection of Employees and Students of our institution.
