Thiruvananthapuram, May 30 (PTI) School students across Kerala will take a cyber safety pledge on the reopening day of the new academic year as part of efforts to promote safe and responsible digital behaviour among children, officials said on Saturday.
The initiative is being organised under the Kid Glove Project, a cyber safety awareness programme implemented by Cyberdome, the technology and cybersecurity wing of Kerala Police, according to an official statement.
More than 15,400 schools under the General Education Department are expected to participate in the programme on June 1, when students return to classrooms after the summer vacation.
