REASI, May 17: An awareness lecture-cum-interactive session on Cyber Fraud was conducted at Batsiyala on 16 May 2026 to educate the local populace about the growing threats of cybercrime in the present era. The programme was organised by the Indian Army with the aim of spreading awareness regarding cyber security and safe internet practices among the youth and local residents.
With the increasing use of internet-based applications and social media platforms, the younger generation has become increasingly vulnerable to cyber frauds due to limited awareness and lack of knowledge about cyber security.
Keeping this in view, the lecture focused on creating awareness at the grassroots level and sensitising the participants about various online threats and fraudulent activities.
Army officers from Budhal delivered an informative lecture highlighting the importance of cyber security in the modern age and explained various preventive measures to avoid becoming victims of cyber fraud through social media and internet platforms.
The session also covered safe online practices, protection of personal information and precautions while using digital applications and online financial services.
The programme was conducted in a cordial and interactive environment. During the interaction session, participants actively raised queries regarding cyber safety, which were addressed comprehensively by the Army officials.
The initiative aimed to empower students and local residents with essential knowledge to safely handle internet-related applications and digital platforms.
The lecture-cum-interaction concluded with the attendees appreciating the continuous efforts of the Indian Army towards the upliftment and development of society through constructive engagement with the youth and local population.
