Digital Wellness Online Challenge – being safe in cyberspace

Digital India Week is being launched by the Hon. PM on 01 July 2015. On this occasion, Dept of Electronics and IT with support from Intel will be executing a ‘Digital Wellness Online Challenge’. This is an initiative to help children across the country become more responsible in their use of Internet. It aims to anchor students’ well-being in cyberspace by empowering them with information and application of the principles of cyber-safety, cyber-security, and cyber-ethics.

 

The objective is to reach out to each and every child so that they learn to be safe in cyberspace; and we need help from EVERY SINGLE PERSON we know in education to make this happen! We request all of you to mobilize all possible channels to get maximum children in private and government schools from grades 6-12 to attempt this quiz post 01 July.

The quiz will be available in English and Hindi. While each participant will gain a Digital India Certificate, 4 winners per state will be declared as Digital Wellness Champions and get an opportunity to interact with key leaders during the Digital Week Celebrations later in the month.

The quiz can be accessed from: http://quiz.digitalindia.gov.in/
