All students are hereby informed and warned that if they are found to be involved/actively participating in any behaviour that is causing any form of harassment to any of the other student of this college; severe measures will be taken by the college authorities against them.
Activities of ragging within the college campus can ruin the life of a student and disturb the academic environment.

The cell is comprised of the following members:

Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell
Our National Policy emphasizes the elimination of
discrimination and all forms of violence against
women in both the public and the private sphere. In
adherence to the above objective, the College has an
Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell comprising senior
faculty members and headed by the Principal for
handling complaints of sexual harassment. In 2014,
close circuit cameras were installed at strategic
points to keep vigil on occurrence of untoward
incidents.
Since its establishment in 1938, the College has
strived to translate the ideals of its mentors of
empowering women to make them capable home builders,
worthy citizens and conscientious women in their
chosen fields, not merely through formal education.
Accordingly, gender sensitivity is ingrained in the
culture of this College. Specific programmes are
organised for furtherance of this objective.
On 22nd March, 2014, the College in association with
SAMAGAM, an NGO, organised a One-day workshop titled
- "Atrocities on Women vis-a-vis role of
Counselling", where a representative of the Kolkata
Police and an eminent lawyer and a representative of
CINI Asha addressed the students and took questions
from them as well, to make them conscious of their
rights and prerogatives as women. Thereafter,
students of various departments presented skits and
theme shows reflecting abuse of women in different
social spaces namely the family, the workplace and
other social areas.
