Children today are digital natives, yet structured education on cyber safety is still not a mainstream priority. They can instinctively navigate apps and platforms, but awareness of online risks, scams, and digital hygiene remains worryingly low.
#Hashtag Suraksha, India’s first National Cyber Safety Olympiad, launched by CERT-In (MeitY) bridges this gap by making cyber safety an aspirational pursuit. Through competition and creativity, it transforms cyber awareness from a lesson into a life skill
