R J College Internal Complaints Committee (ICC)
At R J College, we prioritize the safety, dignity, and respect of every member of our college community. Our commitment to fostering a campus free from gender-based discrimination, harassment, and misconduct is steadfast. In compliance with the directives of the National Commission for Women and the Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment dated 13th August 1997, in the case of Visakha and others vs. State of Rajasthan and Others, we have proactively established the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC).
Our Commitment to Safety and Respect
The ICC at R J College operates as a critical component of our commitment to creating a secure and inclusive environment. Comprising a diverse mix of faculty members, administrative staff, and student representatives, the committee is dedicated to upholding the principles set forth in the Visakha case guidelines.
Confidential and Impartial Resolution
Our ICC serves as a confidential and impartial forum where individuals can voice their concerns related to gender-based discrimination and seek resolution. Upholding the principles of natural justice, the committee ensures fair and just inquiry processes while prioritizing the safety and confidentiality of complainants.
Preventive Measures and Awareness Initiatives
Beyond addressing complaints, the ICC actively engages in preventive measures, including awareness campaigns, workshops, and training sessions. These initiatives aim to educate our college community about their rights and responsibilities and promote a shared understanding of respectful and inclusive behavior.
Responsive Action to Student Suggestions
R J College takes student suggestions seriously and has a track record of responsive action. Past initiatives include skits, meetings with local law enforcement, peace marches, and collaboration with authorities to enhance security measures. The college has displayed a strong stance against harassment with banners and vigilance squads.
Comprehensive Complaint Management System
Our college is equipped with a comprehensive complaint management system. It includes an anti-ragging cell, Women Development Cell (WDC), a suggestion/complaint box, and an open-door policy by college authorities. We take prompt and effective actions, involving counseling and, if necessary, engaging parents and concerned teachers.
Special Facilities for Female Staff and Students
To ensure the well-being of our female staff and students, R J College provides round-the-clock security, well-maintained facilities, CCTV surveillance, medical support, and special coaching for various sports. We believe in creating an environment that fosters overall development and personality growth.
