Panchkula, August 28, 2025 – A special Cyber Safety Awareness Session was conducted today at Bhavan Vidyalaya, Sector 15, Panchkula, for nearly 1400 students from Classes 6 to 12. The keynote speaker was Dr. Rakshit Tandon, a well-known cyber safety expert and national speaker, who has been working for more than two decades to promote cyber awareness and assist law enforcement agencies in tackling online crimes.

Dr. Tandon engaged the students with his dynamic presentation, covering essential topics such as digital diet, cyber hygiene, safe internet practices, responsible social media use, password protection, digital footprints, online gaming risks, cyberbullying, digital dementia and phishing. What made the session even more impactful was his sharing of real-life experiences and personal anecdotes from his journey as a cyber-safety expert. He narrated cases he had worked on—especially those involving students—which helped the audience understand the real dangers of careless online behavior.

The session was highly interactive and student-centered, as learners asked practical questions about cyberbullying, fake profiles, online scams, and gaming addiction. Dr. Tandon patiently responded with useful tips that students could immediately apply in their daily digital lives.
The Principal Ms. Gulshan Kaur, of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Sector 15, Panchkula expressed heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Tandon, noting that equipping students with cyber safety skills is as important as their academic learning in today’s digital age. The session concluded with a vote of thanks and a collective pledge by students to become responsible digital citizens and spread awareness in their communities.
