e-Raksha : Online Safety Awareness Challenge for students and teachers

eRaksha 2020

 The idea behind the eRaksha Competition, is to provide a platform to netizens to share tips and strategies on:
  • How to be Safe & Responsible Netizens 
  • How to address Fake News and Misinformation especially with regard to COVID-19
Where on one end technological innovations are adding value to our lives and making it easier, there has also opened up a diverse set of risks which were unfathomable a few years ago. We have been involved in various awareness campaigns over the last couple of years, and we learned that almost every second internet user has had an unpleasant experience online, creating an urgent need to build resilience.
