Policy on Prevention of Sexual Harassment (P.O.S.H) Against Women
The Mahavidyalaya is committed to providing a safe working and academic environment to all girl students and its women employees. By effectively addressing complaints of sexual harassment and promoting awareness/sensitizing through seminars and webinars, the ICC contributes to creating a safer and more respectful workplace for all the employees, aligning with legal mandates and fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect. Continuous efforts to strengthen the ICC’s framework and processes will further enhance its effectiveness and the overall work environment at YSM. Besides, the Mahavidyalaya has 24x7 security guards deployed along with surveillance through CCTV cameras. Regularly we organise ‘Gender Sensitization’ expert talks, lectures, and seminars by eminent personalities.
