Addressing the participants, Smt.

As digital technologies become increasingly integral to governance and public service delivery, cyber security must become an integral part of our professional culture. Cyber security is a shared responsibility, requiring awareness, vigilance, and collective commitment from every individual. Through initiatives like these, ITDC is committed to building a cyber-aware and digitally resilient workforce that contributes to this national vision.”
