POSH

Overview

MSAJAA is dedicated to providing a secure atmosphere for all individuals, with a particular focus on female students and employees. Everyone is entitled to decent treatment and respect. There is no room for sexual harassment in college. Thus, POSH policy refers to the rules and processes that Indian enterprises must adhere to in order to comply with the legislation. The College formed an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) in accordance with the POSH Act to look into allegations of sexual harassment.

The committee has regular meetings to raise awareness of safety measures to be taken on college property to protect women and female students. It also thoroughly investigates cases of sexual harassment. The committee will protect the privacy and anonymity of those who complain and those who are accused. Enquiry procedures will ensure that complainants, witnesses, and the harasser are not subjected to victimization or discrimination.
