The Government of India launched the e-SafeHER Cyber Security Awareness Programme for rural women.
It aims to train one million women to safely use the digital ecosystem over three years.
It is under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Information Security Education and Awareness (ISEA) Programme and implemented by C-DAC with Reliance Foundation.
It will create “Cyber Sakhis” to spread cybersecurity awareness and safe digital practices.
It follows a community-based approach through Self-Help Groups (SHGs) for last-mile digital awareness.
The programme will start in Madhya Pradesh and Odisha and expand nationwide in phases.
It promotes safe digital transactions, cyber risk awareness, and digital inclusion for women.
