Internal Complaint Committee (ICC)

The college has committed itself to provide a conducive environment in which the students, teachers and non- teaching staff can work together in an environment free of violence, harassment and exploitation. As per University Grants Commission (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal of Sexual Harassment of Women Employees and Students in Higher Educational Institutions) Regulations, 2015, the institution has an Anti-Sexual Harassment Committee, which is now renamed as Internal Complaints Committee (ICC).

The ICC is constituted to keep a watch on sexual harassment cases in the campus. The Committee meets at regular intervals to monitor and ensure that no cases of sexual harassment are reported in the campus.

The responsibilities of the cell include:

• To ensure provision of a safe educational and work environment that is free from sexual harassment.
• To take active steps against prevention of sexual harassment
• To ensure the creation of a mechanism of complaint creation that is safe, accessible and sensitive
• To adopt stringent measures against cases reported in the institution
• To provide emotional and psychological support to students in need.

Dealing with Incidents of Sexual Harassment

Any student who wishes to complaint against an incident of sexual harassment can report to the members of the ICC, whose names are published in the College Handbook and Website. Friends, relatives, co-students or any other associate of the victim may file the complaint where the aggrieved person is unable to make a complaint on account of physical or mental incapacity. The Committee will investigate the matter thoroughly and complete an inquiry within a period of ninety days from the receipt of the complaint.
