To help empower Indian internet users with skills to make them resilient to misinformation, and embrace responsible online behavior, Google.org, Google’s philanthropic arm, has announced it is providing a new grant to support a nationwide awareness and capability building initiative by the India-headquartered cyber security advocacy global non-profit, CyberPeace Foundation. The grant will support the initiative in reaching over 40 million internet users across India, including at least 9 million underserved beneficiaries such as youth, women, rural communities, elderly, through trainings and community engagement programs over three years.

Additionally, the grant will support a multilingual online resource center that will offer 650 hours worth of free multimedia content and learning materials on identifying and countering misinformation, and on developing responsible online content, in English and 15 Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Kannada, Odia (Oriya), Malayalam, Punjabi, Assamese, Maithili, Santali, Kashmiri. The initiative will also include the establishment of helplines across states and regional clusters, as well as quick-response teams composed of experts in digital forensics, social media analysis, and fact-checking, providing real-time support to ecosystem stakeholders to check the spread and public impact of new-age cyber threats and misinformation campaigns.

Explaining the initiative, Vineet Kumar, Founder and Global President of CyberPeace, said:

"In an era in which digital is deeply intertwined with our lives, knowing how to discern, act on, and share the credible from the wealth of information available online is critical to our wellbeing, and of our families and communities. Through this initiative, we’re committing to help Internet users across India become informed, empowered and responsible netizens leading through conversations and actions. Whether it’s in fact-checking information before sharing it, or refraining from sharing unverified news, we all play an important role in building a web that is a safe and inclusive space for everyone, and we are extremely grateful to Google.org for propelling us forward in this mission with their grant support.”

All the content developed and disseminated through this initiative will be informed by extensive field and secondary research on methods for encouraging responsible content creation, and on mechanisms and measures for effectively countering misinformation and online threats.

The CyberPeace Foundation and NCERT proudly present the latest edition of the eRaksha Competition! This year's eRaksha competition is being organised in collaboration with the G20 Summit. Inspired by the principles of Vasudev Kutumbakam, the competition’s theme for this year is “Fostering a Safe and Responsible Cyber Culture”.

The eRaksha competition endeavours to cultivate a deeper understanding of responsible digital citizenship among the nation’s youth. Since its launch in 2019, eRaksha has witnessed overwhelming participation from more than one lakh participants all over India. Students, teachers, parents, and other educators from various schools and colleges are encouraged to participate in this competition. eRaksha serves as a valuable platform for its participants to shape and share their ideas, visions, and experiences regarding digital safety.

Each year, the competition is driven by a theme relevant to cybersecurity. Participants are invited to send their original entries such as posters, banners, videos, reels, shorts, essays, blogs, memes or software applications related to the theme. Over the past 4 editions of eRaksha, we have received some of the most creative, thought-provoking and valuable entries that have shone a light on some of the most important contemporary cyberspace issues. eRaksha is a valuable chance for anyone who wishes to enhance their knowledge and skills, collaborate with domain experts, and engage with exciting, complex challenges during the Cyber Camps organised by CyberPeace and NCERT.

By inviting the youth to interact, engage and discuss their experiences on a national level thus, eRaksha creates a vast treasure trove of fresh, youthful insights regarding the digital world and all its opportunities, threats and concerns.

The CyberPeace Center of Excellence (CCoE) functions as a platform to foster and harness the potential of the youth through collaborations with academic institutions and innovation-focussed-programs. This initiative presents opportunities to universities, their students, and faculty to collaborate with industries, government agencies, law enforcement, and the armed forces for research and development projects that address real-world challenges.

It is a community driven collaborative framework for research & development in academia and allied institutions. The goal is to create a cluster of research in academic and allied institutions to tackle challenges in the realm of cybersecurity. The objective is to establish a network of experts who can share their knowledge, skills, and resources to develop inventive solutions and technologies that enhance cybersecurity. This network of experts will collaborate to generate new ideas, conduct research, and promote the exchange of information and best practices to address the ever-changing challenges and threats in cyberspace.

Government entities collaborate with one or more academic institutions under the CyberPeace Center of Excellence (CCoE) and share details about their operational challenges, issues, threats, risks, and concerns. Depending on the project, the intellectual property for the solution can be licensed and handed over in the interest of national security.
