Subject: Formation of CYBER CLUBS in Schools for developing an Ecosystem to
Prevent Cybercrime-reg.
With the rapid and widespread adoption of digital technologies and online services, ensuring
the security of our cyberspaces has become an indispensable component of personal safety.
The escalating cases of data breaches and cyber-attacks highlight the urgent need for cyber-
safety and cyber-defense skills. Education plays a pivotal role in increasing awareness and
combating cyber threats. It is essential that students in schools are well-informed about
cyber hygiene and potential cyber threats, as the younger generation becomes increasingly
vulnerable to cybercrime.
Acknowledging the significance of this issue, the Government of India has established the
Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs. This centre
aims to provide a comprehensive and coordinated framework to combat cybercrimes
effectively. To spread awareness on cybercrime, the Central Government has taken various
steps, including disseminating messages through SMS, using social media platforms like
Twitter (@Cyberdost), Facebook (CyberDostI4C), Instagram (cyberdosti4c), and Telegram
(cyberdosti4c). Additionally, they have engaged MyGov for publicity across multiple media,
organized Cyber Safety and Security Awareness weeks in collaboration with States/UTs,
published a Handbook for Adolescents/Students, and more. All stakeholders have also been
encouraged to participate in creating mass awareness.
In line with these efforts, the concept of forming Cyber Clubs in schools has been suggested
during I4C meetings. By establishing Cyber Clubs, educators can provide students with a
platform to explore, learn, and excel in the field of cybersecurity and emerging technologies,
equipping them with essential skills for their future success.
Therefore, School Heads are requested to form a CYBER Club in their schools and adopt a
more focused approach towards promoting cyber hygiene. One teacher, preferably with
knowledge of Cyber Security, shall be nominated as the Cyber Nodal Officer, whose
details are to be filled in CBSE OASIS portal. Advisories and cyber safety tips will be
regularly sent to schools through the nominated teacher by I4C or CBSE.
Through the collaborative efforts of schools, teachers, and students, these Cyber Clubs can
contribute significantly to fostering a safer digital environment and mitigating cyber threats in
our society.
