To promote digital safety and responsible use of technology among students, a Cyber Crime Awareness Programme was organised by the Bhopal Police & Cyber Police Madhya Pradesh during the morning school assembly. The programme aimed to educate students about the growing threats of cybercrime and the importance of staying safe in the digital world. The Cyber Police officers addressed the gathering and explained various forms of cybercrime, including online fraud, phishing, identity theft, cyberbullying, social media scams, online gaming fraud, fake job offers, OTP scams, and digital payment fraud, as well as social media security. Through real-life examples and discussions, they highlighted how cyber criminals exploit carelessness and lack of awareness. The officers advised students never to share personal information, passwords, OTPs, or banking details with anyone. They also encouraged students to use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, verify unknown links before clicking, and maintain privacy on social media platforms. Students were reminded that responsible online behaviour is essential for protecting themselves and others. The Cyber Police Team encouraged them to report suspicious online activities immediately to their parents, teachers, or the police. The school Principal expressed sincere gratitude to the Madhya Pradesh Police for conducting such an informative and timely awareness programme. The Principal Father Amritlal Toppo S.J. emphasised that cyber safety education is an essential life skill in today's digital age and appreciated the efforts of the Cyber Police Team in creating awareness among young citizens. The programme concluded with a pledge by the students to become responsible digital citizens by using the internet safely, ethically, and responsibly. The session proved to be highly informative and inspiring, equipping students with practical knowledge to protect themselves from cyber threats and contribute to a safer digital society. Vice-Principal Fr. Fabianus Xalxo, secondary teachers' staff representative Mrs Jyotishwari Sisodia, along with all the teachers, were present on this occasion.
