Proud to share the success of a landmark Cyber Security and Safety Awareness Workshop Series under the ISEA Project, organized by C-DAC Patna from Aug 05th-07th, 2025 and the establishment of ISEA Cybersecurity Clubs in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
The workshop series and ISEA cybersecurity clubs were inaugurated in the august presence of Shri. Sushant Padha, IAS (Special Secretary, IT, A&N Administration), Shri. Jitendra Kumar Meena, IPS (SSP, CID, A&N Police), and Shri. Ritesh R Dhote (Scientist 'E', C-DAC Patna) with participation from dignitaries including officials from the Department of IT, SOVTECH, and faculty from DBRAIT, JNRM, and Tagore College.
In just three intensive days, the C-DAC Patna team achieved:
- 10 Cyber Security Workshops for schools, colleges, institutions and police officials
- 02 Master Trainer Programmes to develop skilled local cyber champions
- 05 ISEA Cybersecurity Clubs established across South Andaman
The workshops brought together a diverse group of students, teachers, faculty members, government officials, and police personnel, ensuring representation from academic institutions, law enforcement, and administrative bodies. Sessions covered essential topics like cyber hygiene, safe online practices, handling of digital threats, and strategies for responding to cyber incidents, equipping participants with both awareness and practical skills.
By creating a network of trained Master Trainers and establishing Cyber Security Clubs, this initiative ensures a sustainable model for ongoing Cybersecurity awareness in the islands. The collaboration with local institutions and departments guarantees that these efforts will continue to grow, reaching more citizens and strengthening the overall cyber resilience of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
This programme marks a significant step in bridging the cyber awareness gap in remote regions and reaffirms C-DAC Patna's commitment to building a safe, secure, and digitally empowered India.
