Cyber Security Awareness Workshop Conducted at Faridabad Model School
With the increasing use of social media and the internet among children, Faridabad Model School organised a Cyber Security Awareness Workshop for the students of the Senior Wing to promote safe and responsible digital practices.
The workshop, held under the Community Policing and Outreach Programme, was conducted by Sub Inspector Basant Kumar and Head Constable Joginder from the Cyber Cell Department. The event was attended by FMS Academic Director Mrs. Shashi Bala, school coordinators, and students.
During the session, Mr. Basant Kumar educated students about the fundamentals of cyber security, highlighting the importance of strong passwords, digital footprints, cyber bullying awareness, online gaming safety, internet etiquette, two-step authentication, and privacy settings. He also explained the do's and don'ts of online behaviour and encouraged students to remain alert while using digital platforms.
The interactive session provided students with an opportunity to clarify their doubts and learn about preventive measures against cybercrime. The officials also informed them about the emergency helpline numbers 112 and 1930 for reporting cyber-related offences.
Concluding the programme, Mrs. Shashi Bala expressed her gratitude to the Cyber Cell officials for their valuable guidance. She emphasised the importance of creating awareness about cybercrime, fostering respect for the law, and encouraging students to become responsible digital citizens. The workshop proved to be highly informative, equipping students with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the online world safely and responsibly.
