Presidency School of Liberal Arts and Sciences organised a faculty sensitization session titled “Respectful Interventions: Addressing Student PDA with Care and Professionalism” on October 11, 2025. The session was conducted by Ms. Namratha Jessica, University Campus Counsellor, DSA. The session aimed to help faculty members understand how to approach and manage instances of Public Display of Affection (PDA) among students with awareness, sensitivity, and professionalism.

Ms. Jessica elaborated on the appropriate boundaries for student interactions, urging faculty to approach such situations with sensitivity and awareness and explaining how to intervene in cases of misconduct or non-consensual behaviour. She guided students toward emotional maturity and responsible boundaries and also encouraged them to seek support from the Mind Blossom Club for mental health and well-being. The session concluded with an engaging Q&A segment, where faculty members shared real-life situations and sought practical guidance.

The discussion fostered a collective understanding that disciplinary measures should be balanced with empathy, ensuring that the campus remains both respectful and compassionate.
