CyberMitra
CyberMitra is dedicated to promoting cyber safety and digital literacy among students across India. In today's digital age, where technology plays an increasingly central role in education and daily life, it is essential to equip students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the online world safely and responsibly.
India is witnessing a rapid expansion of internet access and digital technologies, presenting both opportunities and challenges for young people. While the internet offers vast resources for learning and communication, it also exposes students to various risks such as cyberbullying, online predators, identity theft, and exposure to inappropriate content.
Teachers play a pivotal role in guiding students toward responsible online behavior and helping them develop critical thinking skills to discern reliable information from misinformation. However, many educators lack the necessary training and resources to address these complex issues effectively.
