The performance emphasized that ensuring a safe and respectful workplace is not only a legal obligation but also a moral and social duty.
The event was organized under the esteemed guidance of Hon’ble Chancellor Shri Gajraj Pagariya Ji, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) K. P. Yadav, Registrar Shri Gokulananda Panda, and Director General Shri Priyesh Pagariya. The programme was conducted under the leadership of Head of the Department Dr. Prashant Kumar and coordinated by Dr. I. Nagmani Deshlahre (Event Coordinator).
During the awareness drive, students interacted with employees and members of the public, addressed queries related to the POSH Act, 2013, and distributed informative pamphlets. The initiative aimed to strengthen constitutional values, gender justice, morality, sensitivity, and the development of a safe and ethical work culture.
