The CAWACH Initiative: Promoting Cybersecurity Awareness
The Cybersecurity Awareness and Creative Handholding Kendra (CAWACH), launched by the Government of Gujarat’s Education and Home Affairs Departments, aims to enhance digital safety and educate young individuals about cybercrime and responsible internet usage.
As part of this initiative, MK Bhavnagar University organized a month-long Cybersecurity and Digital Empowerment Campaign, led by Dr. Dilip Barad, to educate students across 17 departments on cyber threats, preventive measures, and digital responsibility.
Two teams, led by Ms. Prakruti Bhatt and Ms. Megha Trivedi, ensured the campaign’s success through interactive sessions covering online safety, cyber threat recognition, and data protection. Through these efforts, the initiative strengthened cybersecurity awareness and encouraged responsible digital behavior among students.
