POSH COMMITTEE

RV Educational Institutions are unwavering in their commitment to fostering a safe and respectful work environment for all. In accordance with the “Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act 2013,” as outlined in Circular No. RSST/POSH/Feb-2016/49/2/15-16 dated February 1st, 2016, the institution took proactive steps to establish an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), known as the Dignity at Work Cell.

At RV College of Nursing, the Internal Complaints Committee was formally established on March 24th, 2016. This five-member committee encompasses the insights and expertise of senior employees and the residential warden. To further strengthen the committee’s effectiveness, Mrs. Shubha S. Advocate has been appointed as an external member, providing an objective and external perspective.

The Dignity at Work Cell stands as a steadfast guardian of respect, equity, and well-being within RV Educational Institutions, ensuring that every member of the community can flourish in an environment free from harassment and discrimination.

A safe workplace is a woman’s legal right. Sexual harassment constitutes a gross violation of women’s rights to equality and dignity. Across the globe today, workplace sexual harassment is increasingly understood as a violation of women’s rights and a form of violence against women. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 by the Indian Government was enacted to ensure safe working spaces for women and to build enabling work environments that respect women’s right to equality of status and opportunity. Our college is a coeducational institution. It provides opportunities for both boys and girls to acquire knowledge. However, there are a large number of women who work hand in hand with men here. Hence, any unwelcome sexually motivated behaviour, whether directly or by implication involving physical contacts or advances, demand for sexual favours, sexually spoiled remarks, and other unwelcome physical, verbal, or nonverbal expressions of a sexual nature that affect their right to work in a congenial environment at the workplace are strictly observed and severely punished. One of the key components of the POSH Act is the formation of an internal committee.

Objectives

  • To create a safe and secure working environment for all employees and students of the institute.
  • To create awareness about the Act and conduct gender sensitisation.
  • To provide a safe forum for the redressal of complaints related to sexual harassment at the workplace.
  • To conduct periodical programmes on women’s empowerment
