Compliance is annual. Behaviour is the point.
Most campuses can produce a policy document. Fewer can show that students, faculty and committee members actually understand what to do when something happens. That gap is what these sessions close.
A standing obligation, not a one-time certificate.
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 requires an employer to constitute an Internal Committee and to carry out regular awareness and orientation programmes. Higher educational institutions additionally sit under the UGC Regulations, 2015. Both frameworks assume an ongoing cycle of training and reporting rather than a single sign-off.
In practice that means new student intakes every year, committee members who rotate, and staff who joined after the last session. The obligation renews itself, which is exactly why it suits an annual engagement.
Your compliance team should confirm the specific requirements that apply to your institution. Scope is set against that, not against a template.
Someone who has run this inside a company
Srikanth is a certified POSH trainer through the Indian Society for Training and Development, and has led HR operations and compliance inside a large engineering organisation where this framework is live rather than theoretical. Sessions are built around real situations and the questions people are actually afraid to ask.
About Srikanth →Five components, scoped to your campus.
Student awareness sessions
Batch-wise sessions in plain language: what the law covers, what it does not, how to raise a concern, and what happens next. Built for people who will not read a policy PDF.
Faculty and staff orientation
Separate session for teaching and non-teaching staff, covering their own obligations, how to receive a disclosure, and what not to do in the first conversation.
Internal Committee training
Working session for committee members on inquiry process, documentation, confidentiality, principles of natural justice, and the practical mistakes that undo an otherwise sound inquiry.
Policy and process review
A read of your existing policy, committee composition, reporting routes and record keeping, with a short written note on gaps and what to change first.
Annual refresher cycle
An agreed calendar for the next intake and the next committee rotation, so the obligation is scheduled rather than remembered.
Combined with readiness work
Institutions often pair this with the campus-to-corporate programme, since both run on the academic calendar and reach the same cohorts.
Three steps, no obligation.
A short call
Fifteen minutes on your student numbers, committee status, and when your academic calendar allows sessions.
A scoped proposal
Which components you need, how many batches, over how many days, and what it costs. One page.
Deliver, then schedule the next cycle
Sessions run, the written note follows, and next year goes on the calendar before this year closes.
