Internal Complaint Committee
Sudhiranjan Lahiri Mahavidyalaya is a co-educational organization that offers equal opportunities to both men and women. However, complaints about unwanted physical, verbal, or nonverbal sexual expressions, demands for sexual favors, or physical contacts or advances are taken seriously and dealt with appropriately. The purpose of this cell is to raise awareness among staff and students about the need of working hard to stop sexual harassment in the college. Sexual harassment complaints must be filed with the Committee, and members may take appropriate disciplinary action in compliance with college policies.
The sexual harassment of women at workplace (prevention, prohibition and redressal) act 2013 is an act to provide protection against sexual harassment of women at work place. Women's core fundamental rights, including their right to equality under articles 14, 15, and their right to life and a dignified existence under article 21, are violated as a result of sexual harassment.
Why ICC?
- It was created in compliance with the guidelines set forth by the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act (POSH ACT), which went into effect on December 9, 2013. (Prohibition, Redressal, and Prevention).
- The University Grants Commission (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal of Sexual Harassment of Women Employees and Students in Higher Educational Institutions) Regulations, 2015–2nd May 2016, also make reference to it.
Functions of ICC:
- To strive toward establishing an environment that upholds gender sensitivity, equality, and non-discrimination.
