The Madhya Pradesh State Cyber Cell has launched a training program for students from 33 colleges in Indore and Ujjain, designating them as ‘Cyber Warriors’ to protect devotees from online fraud during the upcoming Singhsth Mahaprav 2028.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to curb cyber‑crime during the large pilgrimage event, which attracts thousands of visitors. Participants will receive instruction on detecting phishing attempts, safeguarding personal data, and reporting suspicious activity.
Officials say the program will equip students with practical skills and raise awareness among the community about digital security. The training is scheduled to conclude before the festival begins, ensuring that the cyber warriors are ready to respond to any threats.
The cyber cell’s move follows a rise in reported online scams targeting pilgrims in previous years. By involving local colleges, the state aims to create a network of vigilant volunteers who can act swiftly during the high‑traffic period of the festival.
