Quick Heal Foundation’s flagship initiative, “Cyber Shiksha for Cyber Suraksha,” is making significant strides in building grassroots cybersecurity resilience. Across two states, students from 36 colleges are actively participating in localized training programs aimed at developing a new generation of Cyber Warriors.

Through the creation of Cyber Warrior Clubs within educational institutions, the program focuses on imparting practical, hands-on cybersecurity skills. These clubs are now preparing to implement district-level awareness campaigns, designed to educate communities on cyber threats and prevention strategies. To encourage impactful community outreach, the initiative also includes performance-based stipends for students who demonstrate exceptional commitment to cybersecurity education and fraud prevention.

Quick Heal Foundation has launched “Cyber Shiksha for Cyber Suraksha” to boost cybersecurity awareness among students and communities. Led by Mrs. Anupama Katkar, the initiative is setting up Cyber Warrior Clubs in educational institutions to equip youth with hands-on cybersecurity skills and prevent cyber fraud.

Students from universities across 2 states are actively involved, designing impactful district-level awareness campaigns. To encourage community outreach, the program offers stipends for outstanding efforts in cybersecurity education.

The foundation has emerged as a key driver in promoting cybersecurity education across India, with a strong emphasis on academic outreach. In response to the growing exposure of students—particularly adolescents—to cyber threats, the foundation is intensifying its engagement by forging strategic partnerships with educational institutions. This initiative specifically empowers tech-savvy students, especially those pursuing computer science from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, to act as cybersecurity ambassadors. In a major milestone, over 33 colleges and 3 universities across Maharashtra and Karnataka have formalized their participation by signing Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with QHF under the “Earn and Learn” program—strengthening grassroots cyber awareness and capacity building.

Transforming the cyber landscape with vision and passion, Anupama Katkar’s leadership has revolutionized digital security. Through her tireless efforts and expertise, she’s enabled individuals and organizations to navigate the online world with confidence. Paving the way for a secure and innovative future.
