3k students in T now Cyber Ambassadors | Hyderabad News
Hyderabad: SHE Teams on Wednesday recognised 3,300 students from 1,650 government schools across the state as ‘Cyber Cops-Cyber Ambassadors.’ The cyber ambassadors have been trained to create awareness on vital topics of cyber safety and security in their communities. Two students from each school were presented with a special badge and introduced to the entire school as cyber ambassadors.
Acting as a social catalyst and torch bearers, these young cyber ambassadors would be working as police officers without uniform by sharing the responsibility of the local SHE Teams officers to safeguard the public.
“All students should be aware of ongoing cybercrimes, learn how to prevent these issues and create awareness on the same among other children and their respective communities,” additional director-general of police Swati Lakra, who attended the investiture ceremony at Mahboobia Girls High School, Gunfoundry said. Similar ceremonies were held in all districts across Telangana.
“I am excited to be a cyber ambassador. I got to learn a lot of things during the training like not to share OTPs, personal details, add or talk to unknown persons on social networking sites and even spoke to my friends and classmates on these issues,” said Bushra Hameed, a class 9 student of MGM Government Girls High School, Nampally, who is chosen and trained as a cyber ambassador.
Following the ceremony, students took charge to create awareness on mobile security features, digital citizenship, preventive steps to take in case of financial frauds, crimes against women, children and many more concepts of cyber safety & security that they have learnt as part of two training sessions in the 10-month-long Cyber Congress initiative.
