For Schools
Bring National Recognition to Your School
Empower your students to become India's next generation of Cyber Champions.
Children today are digital natives, yet structured education on cyber safety is still not a mainstream priority. They can instinctively navigate apps and platforms, but awareness of online risks, scams, and digital hygiene remains worryingly low.
#Hashtag Suraksha, India's first National Cyber Safety Olympiad, launched by CERT-In (MeitY), bridges this gap by making cyber safety an aspirational pursuit. Through competition and creativity, it transforms cyber awareness from a lesson into a life skill.
