Bangalore: The
Karnataka government Thursday told educational institutions in the
state to promote a "brother-sister" relationship among students as
part of a 12-point plan to curb sexual harassment.
Educational institutions "should organize workshops to promote
sisterhood and brotherhood relationship among students", state
Higher Education Minister C.T. Ravi told reporters unveiling the
12-point guideline to check sexual harassment.
The guideline has been framed following the national outrage over
the brutal assault and gang-rape of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi,
who later died in a Singapore hospital.
The guideline directed all colleges and higher educational
institutions in the state to set up a committee to receive and
hear complaints of harassment, including sexual harassment of girl
students and women lecturers.
The committee would be headed by the principal or head of the
institution and would have senior women lecturers, girl students,
parents and eminent persons from society as members, Ravi said.
The committee should meet at least once a week and lodge a police
complaint immediately on any kind of harassment, he said.
