He said the new programme will bridge the digital divide and provide hands-on exposure to students on real-world applications. The cybersecurity training will equip students with knowledge


to protect personal data, understand online risks, prevent cyber crimes and build essential skills for responsible use of technology in the digital world. As per the plan, OCAC will conduct


training camps in at least 100 higher secondary schools and colleges in a year. Each camp will last for around six hours and cover IoT and robotics innovation, artificial intelligence


discovery and cybersecurity awareness. At least 120 students will be imparted training on these emerging fields and sensitised about cybersecurity in each of these camps. In IoT and


robotics, students will be provided hands-on training on smart devices, sensors, motor control, programming as well as use of functional robots in real-world applications. They will also be


taught about how AI and ML work, use of chatbots for study and career and use of AI tools in day-to-day life. Fundamentals of cybersecurity, online safety, ethical hacking basics, password


protection, phishing awareness and hands-on activities to secure digital presence will also be the part of the cybersecurity awareness camps.
