IEC boards mandatory at workplaces, institutions

In a significant move towards strengthening the implementation of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013—commonly known as the POSH Act—the Women and Child Development department has directed all departments and institutions to prominently display information, education, and communication (IEC) boards outlining the 'Dos' and 'Don'ts' under the Act.

A directive issued by Additional Secretary to the government Jyotishankar Mohapatra noted that compliance with the POSH Act remains inadequate in many organisations/institutions across the state. To address this, the government has prepared an IEC board listing key behavioral guidelines aimed at preventing sexual harassment in workplaces, schools, and colleges.
