lic awareness is the key to curbing this growing menace. Speaking at the 70 Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Birla Institute of Technology (BIT), Mesra, on Saturday, she highlighted the dual nature of technology—while it enhances human lives, its misuse poses serious threats.

"Only public awareness can prevent the explosion of cybercrime. Technology is improving lives, but its misuse is also leading to harm. This is why spreading awareness at all levels is crucial even in rural areas," she said. She also lauded the Indian government's proactive role in tackling the issue.
