As AI reshapes the way we learn, communicate and experience the world, knowing how to navigate cyberspace safely is an essential life skill. Being a digital citizen, you need more than the ability to use technology. You need the knowledge to make informed decisions, the confidence to recognise risks and the skills to protect yourself as you explore an ever-evolving digital world.
This is where Hashtag Suraksha comes in.
Hashtag Suraksha is a national initiative by CERT-In, India’s national agency for cybersecurity, under the aegis of The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, in collaboration with Cyber Buddha, designed to bring digital safety into Indian homes through an intelligent, technology-enabled ecosystem.
Through AI-powered learning, a national cyber competition and opportunities for student leadership, the initiative helps you develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to navigate the digital world more safely.

"Cybersecurity is no longer a matter of choice in the current era of rapid digital transformation."
"As India advances towards becoming a global digital leader, it is imperative that our next generation
grows not only technologically adept but also cyber-aware, resilient, and responsible.
CERT-In and Cyber Buddha are launching a joint awareness campaign #Suraksha, a nation-wide movement to
embed cybersecurity into the cultural foundations of our schools and communities, making it an integral
hygiene part of education and daily life. By blending knowledge with creativity, competition with
collaboration, it offers students a unique platform to learn, lead, and shape the narrative of a secure
digital India.
At CERT-In, we believe cybersecurity is not merely a technical safeguard but a shared responsibility, a
societal imperative, and a strategic national priority. Through this joint initiative of #Suraksha,
CERT-In goes beyond awareness, aiming to instill both the mindset and skillset necessary for building a
resilient and secure digital India. Together, let us build not only a cyber-aware nation, but a
cyber-empowered nation."

wrong and being able to help someone else when they need it.
And that is what makes their journey so exciting. They learn, they explore, they face situations that test
what they know and, along the way, become the kind of Cybernauts who can help themselves and those around them
navigate cyberspace safely.
