Students in Telangana to be trained in fighting cyber crime

HYDERABAD: To keep the cyber space safe for students, Telangana police have started training select students and teachers in fighting cyber crimes.
The selected students and teachers will be called ‘cyber ambassadors’ and they, in turn, will train other students in different schools and colleges.
DGP M Mahendar Reddy inaugurated the ‘Cyber Congress’ programme organised by the women safety wing. A 10-month online programme will be conducted by cyber experts. “The Cyber Congress initiative will be held across 33 districts of Telangana targeting 50 schools from each district. Overall, the project aims at empowering 1,650 teachers and 3,300 children,” the office of DGP said.
The DGP said that all the adolescent children, youth and women should acquaint themselves with various types of cyber crimes and the relevant cyber laws through which they can protect themselves.
