Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) is part and parcel of any administration. No
administration
can claim to be accountable, responsive and user-friendly unless it has established an
efficient
and effective grievance redressal mechanism. In fact, the grievance redressal mechanism of
an
organization is the gauge to measure its efficiency and effectiveness as it provides
important
feedback on the working of the administration.
Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) plays a vital role in providing important feedback on
the
working of an organization. It is important for all stakeholders to be aware of GRM and
ensure
all actions are “Time-bound”. An effective and Time-bound Grievance Redressal Mechanism is
mandatory for any efficient organization.
A structured GRM is already operational. The details are as given in this web page. All
students/faculty/staff need to familiarize with the same. This will enable them to initiate
suitable actions in case of any grievances. This will also enable various individuals
responsible for grievance redressal to act upon their grievances for resolution and update
status of resolution to next hierarchy.
