As a compliance to Guidelines of UGC & Supreme Court of India, the college has established the Internal Complaints Committee(ICC) to ensure an effective enforcement of the rights of gender equality and an environment free from sexual harassment. The college ICC tries to address the grievances in a confidential and sensitive manner. If a student approaches the committee member either through the complaint box placed in the college campus or by phone, necessary action is taken through counseling and conciliatory methods. At times when cases require an inquiry, it is conducted and the matter is sorted as soon as possible from the date of filing the complaint. Upon filing the complaint following course of action is taken:
· Meeting is held if a complaint is received by any member
· The written complaint is entertained from the victim and the committee prepares the detailed statement of incidents as soon as possible.
· An inquiry is held jointly by the members of ICC
· The issue is discussed and finalized within a stipulated time.
· Minutes of inquiry are documented
Action Plan
· Counseling the affected students to overcome trauma
· Displaying current laws about sexual harassment and gender discrimination at key places in the campus
· Conduct and participate in awareness programmes and campaigns for the benefit of students and staff
Frequency of meetings
The committee usually meets once in a year (beginning of academic year) and as and when needed.
Structure of ICC is the same as GS-CASH Committee.
