Cyber Aware Netizens
Help build a generation that recognises digital harm.
A project of the Digital Well-being & Mental Health Initiative, an ISAC Foundation centre. Our commitment for 2030: 100,000 Cyber Aware Netizens.
The need and who it serves
Children meet manipulation before they meet malware. Scams, grooming and dark patterns reach them on the first phone they hold, and most schools have no structured programme to prepare them. We make awareness a recorded, free, lifelong credential and build the clubs where it is practised.
- Who it serves
- School students, parents and teachers
- Where
- India, all states
What this project does
Every child, parent, and community deserves the knowledge to navigate digital risks. We are making essential cyber-awareness education accessible through free learning and lifelong credentials.
