The meet will focus on the importance of ‘cybersecurity’ and ‘women safety’. Students from various colleges and public, particularly women, are requested to take part in the event as the participants will be sensitised about the initiatives and programmes like ‘Disha Act’ and recent trends in cyber crimes and cyber laws, officials said.
