The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013is a legislative act in India which came into force from 09 December 2013. This is an Act to provide protection against sexual harassment of women at workplace and for the prevention and redressal of complaints of sexual harassment and for matters connected therewith or incidental there to. This will contribute to realization of their right to gender equality, life and liberty and equality in working conditions everywhere. The sense of security at the workplace will improve women's participation in work, resulting in their economic empowerment and inclusive growth. Under the Act, which also covers students in schools and colleges as well as patients in hospitals, employers and local authorities will have to set up grievance committees to investigate all complaints.

Under this act, the word work placei ncludes organizations, department, office, branch unit etc. in the public and private sector, organized and unorganized, hospitals, nursing homes, educational institutions, sports institutes, stadiums, sports complex and any place visited by the employee during the course of employment including the transportation. GCR is also within the purview of the law and hence the Principal has constituted the anti -sexual harassment cell for prevention of sexual harassment in the campus, and the cell is empowered to deal with cases concerning sexual harassment of women staff and students and hence will function as a sub-committee of the institute.

 The cell plays a proactive role in foregrounding gender equality, promoting equal opportunities, and creating an environment free from harassment, discrimination, intimidation, and any kind of abuse. Any student found guilty will face strict punitive action by being suspended from the college and his admission cancelled.
