There's a flip side to everything. Similarly with the growth of technology, cybercrimes too have become a dreadful part of our life. Moreover, it has caused severe damage to the social glue of our civilized society. On the other hand, it's quite appreciative that the government has launched several initiatives to combat crime. Sadly, with greed being the prime factor working behind it, several individuals fall prey to innovative cybercrime tactics. As a result, online frauds such as AI generated fake contents, OTP frauds, payment frauds, etc are increasing with the passing of each day. Subsequently, it's another feather in the cap that Goa tops in 'cybercrime reporting' that has helped the concerned authorities to take a strong stance against crime. Evidently, 150 Cyber Yoddhas (warriors) have been trained from different aspects of life, and gaining momentum; which is as a matter of fact a public-police partnership programme. Furthermore, these warriors create a type of awareness amongst the community circles and educate/empower the common man pertaining to cybercrime. Nearly one lakh individuals are almost covered by this campaign. In addition to this, a National Cybercrime Toll-Free number -1930 is in existence, 24*7 for effective crime management or swift justice. Eventually, viral campaigns such as 'Cyber Surakshit Goan' have played a pivotal role in crime reduction strategies and achieving efficient law enforcement.
