Sexual Harassment defined as:

“An unwanted conduct with sexual undertones if it occurs or which is persistent and which demeans, humiliates or creates a hostile and intimidating environment or is calculated to induce submission by actual or threatened adverse consequences and induces any one or more or all of the following unwelcome acts or behaviour (whether directly or by implication), namely:

1. Any unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature.
2. Demand or request for sexual favors.
3. Making sexually coloured remarks.
4. Physical contact and advances.
5. Showing pornography”.

We commit ourselves to a zero-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment and reinforce our commitment to making our campus free from discrimination, harassment, retaliation or sexual assault at all levels. If a student, faculty member or non-faculty staff member faces any discomfort under the above-mentioned heads, he or she can directly approach the committee.

An aggrieved person is required to submit a written Compliance to the ICC within three months from the date of the incident, and in case of a series of incidents within a period of three months from the date of the last incident. Provided that where such Compliance cannot be made in writing, any Member of the Internal Compliance Committee shall render all reasonable assistance to the person for making the Compliance in writing. For the reasons accorded in the writing, the ICC could extend the time limit by a period not exceeding three months, if it is satisfied that the circumstances were such which prevented the person from filing a Compliance within the said period. Friends, relatives, colleagues, co-students, a psychologist, or any other associate of the victim may file the Compliance in situations where the aggrieved person is unable to make a Compliance on account of physical or mental incapacity or death.
