The National Conference was inaugurated by Home Minister Amit Shah, who also highlighted the importance of cyber security and India’s progress in digitization.
Amit Shah highlighted that it is impossible to foresee India’s development without cyber security. Today, India is progressing in every sphere solely thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s effort. If we do not ensure cyber security, our own strength will become a significant obstacle. That is why this programme was created to identify cyber security concerns and solutions in the age of the digital revolution, as well as to make cyber security knowledge available to everyone.
The Union Home Minister stated that nowadays, public awareness is the most crucial pillar in the vision of a Cyber Safe India since it cannot be used without awareness. That is why public awareness, public interest, and efforts in the public interest to find solutions to technological issues, and ultimately public welfare, are important.
According to Amit Shah, we should endeavour to bring cyber security to every region of the country. Through this initiative, efforts have been made to raise public awareness through various means such as cyber cleanliness, cyber crime prevention measures, the popularisation of a crime reporting webpage, and the popularisation of a cyber financial crime reporting helpline number.

He stated that the misuse of cyberspace is nothing new. There are other challenges, such as virus attacks, phishing, attacks on vital infrastructure, data thefts, online frauds, and child pornography.
According to the Union Home Minister, cyber security is linked to national security. Those who do not want our country to be safe also try various forms of cyber-attacks. Some countries have even formed cyber-armies. However, the Government of India’s Ministry of Home Affairs is perfectly prepared to cope with these risks and is modernising itself to prevent them. He predicted that many new dimensions of cyber fraud would emerge in the future days, and that we would need to make several preparations in terms of cyber space security.
