Dismiss, Don’t Just Suspend – Punish Predators in Odisha Colleges


Dismiss, Don’t Just Suspend – Punish Predators in Odisha Colleges
The Issue
🎓 Enough Is Enough. Suspend is Not Justice.
We, the citizens of Odisha and supporters of student rights across India, demand strict, permanent action against Principals, HODs, and faculty in educational institutions who commit, enable, or ignore sexual harassment and abuse of power against students.
The recent suicide attempt of a student at Fakir Mohan College, Balasore after repeated harassment and Principal inaction is not just a tragedy—it’s a government failure.
> Why must a daughter light herself on fire before the system responds?
🛑 Our 5 Urgent Demands:
1. 🔥 Permanent dismissal (not suspension) of staff proven guilty of harassment or negligence.
2. 👮 Immediate FIRs under IPC, POCSO, and PoSH for faculty involved in sexual exploitation.
3. 🔍 Full audit of ICCs (Internal Complaints Committees) in all colleges and universities.
4. 🕒 30-day complaint resolution deadline—beyond which Principals are held accountable.
5. 🛡️ State-level Student Safety Cell with anonymous complaint system & mental health support.
✊ This Is Not Just a Petition. It’s a Cry for Justice.
If we don’t act now, our classrooms will remain silent prisons for daughters who should be safe, strong, and free.
This petition will be submitted to:
📮 Hon’ble Minister of Higher Education, Odisha
👩⚖️ Odisha State Commission for Women
📢 Local District Collectors and media outlets
🖊️ Sign if you believe:
> “No girl should ever be punished for speaking up.”
“Teachers must protect, not prey.”
“Justice delayed is another daughter betrayed."
✅ Sign. Share. Stand with students.
