In a bid to foster a culture of cybersecurity and digital responsibility among young learners, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, is actively promoting the Information Security Education and Awareness (ISEA) initiative. This flagship program, implemented through 50 premier academic institutions and managed by C-DAC, Hyderabad, aims to strengthen cybersecurity practices and awareness across the nation.
