WNS Cares Foundation (WCF), the CSR arm of WNS Global Services, has announced that it has collaborated with Robotex India to empower children and youth with practical knowledge around cybersafety through its digital platform CyberSmart.
“CyberSmart was launched with the vision of empowering every child in the country to safely navigate the virtual world. WCF’s collaboration with Robotex India is another step in that direction. Both organizations are focused on furthering the cybersafety agenda and creating an equitable, safe online space for children,” said Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS.
“WCF and Robotex India are working towards bridging the digital divide and empowering children with the skills to create a brighter future for themselves. We believe that this collaboration is the beginning of a partnership through which we will make a difference to the lives of children across India,” Payal Rajpal, Director, Robotex India.
“The unique online and offline methodology created for CyberSmart has helped us use the platform effectively in collaborating with institutions and organizations that work in remote regions where access to devices and the internet may be a challenge. We are proud to be able to enable over 10 lakh children become cybersafe across rural and urban Maharashtra through this collaboration,” said Shamini Murugesh, Honorary Chief Mentor, WCF and Creator, CyberSmart.
“Cybersafety has always been a crucial agenda for the government and given the acceleration in the adoption of digital education, it has become essential to make cybersafety a part of the school curriculum. The pace at which WCF CyberSmart is being adopted since its launch last year with MeitY and NASSCOM, is a testimony to the fact that as a society, we realize the importance of making our virtual spaces safe for children,” said Dr. Ajai Garg, Sr. Director, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
