To encourage youth on safe and responsible use of technology, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Koo and the CyberPeace Foundation have launched joint initiative ‘#CybersKool‘ for creating CyberSecurity awareness among Indian youth. The initiative aims to sensitize college level students and children across India over the next 11 months to make the internet and social media safe, secure and reliable.

#CybersKool will conduct a series of interactive webinars, panel discussions, workshops and competitions focused on information exchange around ethical online practices, cyber rights and duties, and responsible online behaviour. As an inclusive platform for sharing thoughts and opinions in native languages, Koo will run interactive activities for students like slogan writing and quizzes to encourage knowledge-sharing around online safety. Along with students, other relevant stakeholders like parents, guardians and the faculty are expected to participate in the activities. The year-long campaign will conclude with the release of a Digital CyberSafety Manual that will carry learnings from #CybersKool. The manual will be available on Koo and CyberPeace Foundation website for students to download and read.

An independent and responsible platform, Koo has been driving citizen outreach efforts on an ongoing basis along with CERT-In around cyber security. With India being one of the fastest growing internet markets in the world, the need to inform and educate users, especially the youth around cyber hygiene, carries tremendous significance.

Major Vineet Kumar, Founder and Global President, CyberPeace Foundation said, “Students are active internet users and hence, one of the most vulnerable ones as well. #CybersKool – in partnership with platforms like Koo and CERTIn becomes necessary to educate the youth and relevant stakeholders about secure online practices. We are grateful for the association and look forward to a successful campaign ahead.”

Director General, CERT-In, Dr. Sanjay Bahl said, “CyberSecurity Awareness on latest malicious cyber activities is a key element for Internet users and citizens to protect themselves from such activities. CERT-In, KooApp and CyberPeace Foundation are jointly organizing a yearlong cyber security awareness campaign “CybersKool” and launched it on 6th July 2022 as part of Cyber Jagrookta Diwas. The objective of this program is to sensitize the Internet users especially college level students and school children on safety & security tips for protecting themselves from cyber-attacks, frauds and crimes. Along with CERT-In, KooApp, the Indian Micro-blogging and multi-language platform is actively working on creating cyber security awareness among Indian citizens in their local language. CERT-In sincerely hopes that this campaign will help the Internet users to understand that the technology used for empowering them to foster creativity and innovation must be used in a responsible, trusted and secure manner.”
