About GNLU Student Mentorship Programme (GSMP)

Dear Students,

Greetings from the Students Welfare and Grievance Redressal Committee.

An important part of the mission of the SWGRC is to improve the quality of the student experience at GNLU. To this end, we spend a lot of time talking with students about their concerns and soliciting their suggestions for ways to improve their experience. Based on the inputs of some of your friends, we are coming up with a new system of mentorship for students: the GNLU Student Mentorship Programme (GSMP), which will work in conjunction with the existing Faculty mentorship programme.

Mentoring is a particular form of relationship designed to provide personal and professional support to an individual. The mentor is generally more experienced than the mentee and makes use of that experience in a facilitative way to support the development of the mentee. The mentoring relationship provides a developmental opportunity for both parties and can thus be of mutual benefit. In a nutshell, a student mentor's role may be perceived to be facilitative, supportive and developmental for the student community in general.

Thus, I request you to carefully go through the attached Guidelines and apply to be a part of GSMP at the earliest. All relevant details about the programme are mentioned in the Guidelines.

I hope that this initiative fundamentally helps the students realize the immense opportunities available at GNLU, dream big and achieve the same with the assistance of each other, thereby building a strong and mature GNLU student community.

I solicit your support in making this programme successful and in our collective endevour to make our GNLU an even better place.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mahesh Chaudhary,
Chief Warden & Assistant Professor of Management

Prevention of Sexual Harassment

Sexual Harassment is a serious offence and results in the violation of fundamental rights to equality, liberty and life of a person.

Sexual harassment includes any unwanted conduct of sexual undertones which demeans, humiliates or creates a hostile and intimidating environment. Such conduct can be physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature or any other act which amounts to harassment on the grounds of sex. It may be a single instance or persistent conduct.

This categorically includes physical contact, demands or requests for sexual favours, sending undesirable sexually coloured oral or written messages, text, email, or any such messages by electronic, manual or other means, stalking and other acts of such nature.

The 'Prevention of Sexual Harassment at the Gujarat National Law University, Redressal of Complaints Regulations, 2022' ["GNLU POSH Regulations, 2022"] inclusively define sexual harassment and provide for the constitution of an Internal Complaints Committee [ICC] to address complaints of sexual harassment.

  • The ICC is duty-bound to maintain confidentiality and conduct proceedings, respecting sensitivities of participants while bringing a resolution to the matter within stipulated timelines.
  • Any person subjected to sexual harassment within the University can file a complaint with the ICC. You may file it in the format given in Annexure A of the Regulations, or you may seek assistance from the ICC members in filing the same.
  • GNLU abides by a gender-neutral sexual harassment policy. Any person, including but not limited to students and employees of the University, who is subjected to sexual harassment within the University may file a complaint with the ICC.

GNLU aims to promote and provide a safe environment, by creating an effective redressal mechanism against sexual harassment.

We affirm our zero-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment.

The format for filing the complaint is given in Annexure A of the Regulations. You may file your complaint and email the same to icc@gnlu.ac.in

Anyone who experiences or witnesses comments/conduct that may amount to sexual harassment, even if directed at another person, may avail campus counselling services to seek advice or information.
