Anand Pharma Ltd wants to discharge its statutory duties regarding awareness. Which action is specifically required of the employer under the Act?

The employer must organise workshops and awareness programmes at regular intervals to sensitise employees about the Act, and orientation programmes for Internal Committee members. A one-time talk is insufficient, and engaging NGOs for awareness is the District Officer's task, not the employer's.

  1. AOrganise workshops and awareness programmes at regular intervals for sensitising employees, and orientation programmes for Internal Committee membersCorrect
  2. BHold a single induction talk at the time of constituting the committee and nothing further
  3. CAppoint an NGO to run awareness programmes, as the employer's duty
  4. DConduct awareness programmes only for women employees

Explanation

Section 19(c) requires the employer to organise workshops and awareness programmes at regular intervals to sensitise employees, and orientation programmes for Internal Committee members. A single talk is not 'regular intervals'. Engaging NGOs is a duty of the District Officer under section 20(b), not the employer.
