The mechanism for registering complaints in Tinsukia Commerce College is safe, simple and easily accessible. The complainant can give a written complain to the committee or can directly contact the committee members for lodging a verbal complain. Complains can also be mailed to the E-mail ([email protected]). All complaints must be received and registered by the member who receives it. The member in turn then shall inform the chairperson about the complaint who in turn shall convene a meeting of the committee. The committee must determine within three days of the receipt of the complaint whether the prima facie case of sexual harassment is made out. The committee shall hear the defendant at the preliminary stage and start the enquiry process. If the committee finds an employee involved in the sexual harassment in the complaint, a strict disciplinary action will be recommended by the employee and student. The committee has also installed a complaint box outside the principal’s office which is displayed prominently and accessible at all times. The committee has also tried to spread awareness directly in the college by organizing counselling sessions with students.
