Because children and teenagers use social media and the internet more and more in this digital age, issues like cyber hygiene, cyber security, and cyberbullying are pertinent. Parents need to know what safety measures to take for their children. W/Principal Mandeep Kaur Antal, President Arvinder Singh of the Umang Welfare Foundation, Senior Vice President Anurag Acharya (Cyber Expert), Program Coordinator Dr. Gaganpreet Kaur, and other Team members facilitated an interactive session around this idea at the School of Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Old Police Line Patiala. The children were taught terms like “grooming,” “data theft,” “hacking,” “fishing,” “cloning,” and “hacking.” Numerous case studies were also provided to the students, which helped allay some of their worries around privacy and data security. Before adjourning the meeting, he offered some guidance on safe online banking and transactions. “We should use the internet responsibly because it’s a technology, not a toy,” he stated, concluding the lecture and providing the website address for reporting cybercrimes. Those who completed the cyber hygiene quiz during the session received presents of consolation from the team members and the dean of the school.
