Grievance and Internal Complaints Committee


The Grievance and Internal Complaints Committee at CMI investigates complaints of harassment of any kind. This Committee also serves as the Gender Sensitization Cell mandated by the UGC. The current composition
 of the Grievance and Internal Complaints Committee is as follows.

  • C Aiswarya (Convener)
  • Nisha John

  • Ananya Kaushal

  • Siddhi Pathak
  • Purusottam Rath

  • Dr V Sakthi Rekha (External member)

  • Sanchari Sil

  • R. Balajee Yadav


This committee will try to address all complaints related to harassment directly, to the extent possible. If the problem cannot be resolved in this manner, the committee will pass on recommendations to the Director for corrective action.



If you experience any kind of harassment,
 please do not hesitate to approach any member of this committee 
for advice on how to proceed. This applies to all people on the
 campus, regardless of gender and regardless of the nature of 
harassment.


If you are aware of someone else who is the target of
 harassment but has not reported it, please suggest to them that 
they should approach this committee, or offer to pass on a
complaint on their behalf yourself. For instance, this could
 apply to contract staff on campus, who may hesitate to come 
forward to discuss their problems.



Some people (especially students) may feel more comfortable
 talking about such problems to people outside this committee.
 This is fine, but it is best if all such complaints eventually 
reach this committee.
