What is Cyber Jaagrookta (Awareness) Diwas
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Govt. of India has launched National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) to facilitate the online reporting of cyber crime incidents. Analysis has revealed that 60% of the complaints are related to online financial frauds. Hence, the MHA has also rolled out the Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting & Management System (CFCFRMS), as a part of the NCRP for immediate reporting of financial frauds and for stopping the siphoning off of the funds by fraudsters.
One of the key actions for preventing cyber crimes is to generate sustained awareness among public on ‘cyber hygiene’. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India has requested to observe the ‘Cyber Jaagrookta (Awareness) Diwas’ on first Wednesday of every month in all educational institutions. Detailed guidelines for cyber safety are attached at Annexure I, II and III.
National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (https://www.cybercrime.gov.in) has already been launched and a toll free helpline number 1930 (earlier helpline number was 155260) to assist the citizens for registration of complaints pertaining to cyber crimes on the portal has also been made available to the public.
