Our college has developed a vishakha committee as per the order of
supreme court ‘ Sexual Harassment at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act,
2013’ with the aim of promoting gender equality and women empowerment student and staff
members. Above 50% student in our college are girls. Under this cell, all grievances related to
girls and women are resolved and a free environment is kept for them to move around campus.


Objectives:

· To provide a neutral, confidential and supportive environment for members of the
campus community who may have been sexually harassed.
· To advice complainants of means of resolution as specified by the legislation.
· To ensure fair and timely resolution of sexual harassment complaints.
· To provide counseling and support services on campus.

The committee sought to inform the campus community of their right to a respectful work and
learning environment. It believes that if we practice respect, exercise empathy in our
interactions with others so that we do not hurt anyone through what we say or do, then we can
create a campus that is free of sexual harassment.


Function:

once the complaint is filed.

materials, posters and handouts etc. to college campus.
