In a significant step towards building awareness and resilience among students in the digital era, the National Crime Investigation Bureau (NCIB) conducted a special training session on “Cyber Crime & Security” at Paras Public School, Bersiya, located in Bhopal district. The session was organized on a special invitation from the school administration, with the objective of educating students about the increasing threats of cybercrime and the importance of online safety.
The training program was led by expert officers from the NCIB Madhya Pradesh Unit, who addressed students from various age groups, highlighting real-world examples of cyber threats, including phishing, identity theft, online frauds, cyberbullying, and misuse of social media platforms. The session emphasized preventive measures, responsible digital behavior, and the legal implications of cybercrimes.
NCIB officials used interactive presentations, case studies, and Q&A segments to ensure maximum engagement and understanding. Students were also guided on how to identify suspicious online activity, report cyber incidents, and practice safe browsing habits.
Speaking on the occasion, a senior NCIB officer stated:
“In today’s interconnected world, cyber awareness is not optional — it is essential. Equipping our youth with the right knowledge at an early stage is the most effective way to combat the growing menace of cybercrime.”
The school’s principal, faculty members, and parents present at the event expressed their appreciation for NCIB’s efforts and underlined the importance of such programs in the current digital age.
This initiative by NCIB reflects its ongoing commitment to public education, preventive awareness, and community engagement, particularly among students who are increasingly active in the digital space. The Bureau continues to expand its outreach across schools, colleges, and public institutions with the goal of building a safer cyber environment for all.
