Internal Complaints Committee

Prevention, prohibition, and redressal of sexual harassment on campus

Overview

Institutional transparency and statutory compliance in accordance with UGC mandates.

In accordance with statutory requirements and our commitment to a safe campus, St. Xavier's College has established a dedicated Internal Complaints Committee (ICC). The ICC is responsible for the prevention, prohibition, and redressal of any form of sexual harassment within the institution. Led by a Presiding Officer and a diverse panel of faculty and administrative representatives, the committee ensures a secure environment where the dignity and safety of every individual are paramount.

The ICC operates with a focus on gender sensitivity and equity, conducting regular awareness programmes and providing a confidential platform for reporting and resolving complaints. By fostering a culture of accountability and respect, the ICC plays a vital role in maintaining the professional integrity of the college. All stakeholders are made aware of their rights and the protocols for seeking redressal, reinforcing a campus culture of zero tolerance for misconduct.
