As per the guidelines of UGC and the Supreme Court an Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell has been established by the Barasat College to provide a healthy and congenial atmosphere to the staff and students of the College. The cell was constituted to meet the four basic objectives:
a) To develop the guidelines and norms for a policy against sexual harassment.
b) To develop principles and procedures for combating sexual harassment.
c) To work out details for the implementation of the policy.
d) To prepare a detailed plan of action, both short and long term.
The Committee against Sexual Harassment is formed as part of a larger institutional framework for the creation of a safe, equitable and inclusive campus environment. The Committees chief mandate includes considering complaints or grievances in relation to sexual harassment offences committed by students, faculty, staff and visitors on campus, and awareness-raising. The evolution of Committee has followed its own guiding ethic, of inclusion, from the very start.
