  • Internal Complaints Committee
The Internal Complaint Committee was constituted in Sammilani Mahavidyalaya in compliance with UGC Guidelines on sexual harassment of women in college campus and the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 of The Government of India, which is an extension of Vishakha Guideline issued by the Supreme Court in 1997.

The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (“POSH Act“) was enacted as a comprehensive legislation to provide a safe, secure and enabling environment, free from sexual harassment to every woman. This statute was enacted to fill the legislative void which had been partially addressed by the judiciary in Vishaka and Others v. State of Rajasthan and Others (1997 (7) SCC 323). In this seminal public interest litigation verdict, the Supreme Court of India had framed a set of guidelines (“Vishaka Guidelines“) for dealing with instances of sexual harassment at the workplace, which has now been codified in the POSH Act.
