However, since the times have changed, it’s imperative for children to know the pros and cons of accessing the cyber world. Since children are learning to navigate the world, the internet masks these signals. This portal is in line with our mission to create safe cyber environment for the students and add this to our curriculum at the state level. I am delighted to be associated with the launch of CyberSmart portal for children and youth to spread awareness around cyber safety, which is the need of the hour”.
