🔐 Empowering Young Minds for a Safer Digital Future | Legal Awareness Program on Digital Safety
The Legal Aid Society, ICFAI Law School, IFHE, Hyderabad, conducted a Legal Awareness Program on Digital Safety at DAV BDL Public School, Bhanoor, Sangareddy District, Telangana, on 30th July 2026.
The program aimed to empower school students with practical digital literacy and legal awareness to identify, prevent, and respond to emerging cyber threats. Around 360 students from Grades 8 to 10, along with the Principal and teachers, participated enthusiastically in the program.
The session addressed important issues such as:
🔹 Cyberbullying and online harassment
🔹 Online grooming and identity theft
🔹 Phishing, financial fraud and scams
🔹 Protection of personal information and digital privacy
🔹 Safe use of social media and online platforms
🔹 Recognising fake messages and suspicious links
🔹 Importance of protecting OTPs, passwords and personal credentials
Through posters, interactive activities, a drama, awareness games and engaging discussions, students were encouraged to adopt responsible and safe digital practices. The “Detect, Protect and Defend” framework, along with the THINK and SMART strategies, helped students understand how to become responsible digital citizens.
A key message of the programme was:
💡 “Think before you click, secure your screen, and stay the smartest the internet has seen!”
The programme also sensitised students about official avenues for seeking assistance in cases of cyber threats and online harassment.
We are proud of the efforts of the Legal Aid Society and our student volunteers in taking legal awareness beyond the classroom and helping young learners understand their rights, responsibilities and safety in the digital world.
Special appreciation to Dr. S. Kannan, Coordinator, Legal Aid Society, and all faculty members, student coordinators and volunteers who contributed to the successful organisation of the programme. The initiative was supported by IFHE Management.
