Committee Against Sexual Harassment

Overview

CASH (Committee Against Sexual Harassment) at MIET has been formed to provide a place of work and study free of sexual harassment, intimidation or exploitation.

This committee is the instrument for addressing issues/grievances/cases of sexual harassment and recommending their redressal. Keeping in view the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) Act, 2013 Model Institute of Engineering and Technology has formulated a committee against Sexual Harassment (CASH) . It is in this spirit that the institute expects that its entire community i.e. students, faculty and staff are treated with respect and they are protected against sexual harassment. All members of the college community, including those who are in temporary or short-term positions are subject to this policy. Anyone violating this policy is subject to disciplinary action. The committee believes that freedom comes with the responsibility of not encroaching upon another’s freedom.

Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (POSH) Act, 2013

In compliance with AICTE guidelines and the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, the institution is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and dignified academic and work environment for all women.

The POSH Act aims to prevent, prohibit, and redress sexual harassment at the workplace, ensuring women’s right to equality, dignity, and a secure environment, in line with the Vishaka Guidelines of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Sexual harassment includes any unwelcome physical, verbal, or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature, creation of a hostile work environment, or implied or explicit threats or promises related to employment or academic benefits. The Act applies to all workplaces, including educational institutions, covering employees, students, interns, and visitors across both organized and unorganized sectors.

As mandated, the institution has constituted an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and follows a confidential, fair, and time-bound complaint redressal mechanism, along with regular awareness and gender-sensitization initiatives.

The institution maintains zero tolerance towards sexual harassment and is committed to upholding a respectful and safe campus for all.
