Bosco College of Teacher Education organized a Cyber Security Awareness Programme at its
Multipurpose Hall in collaboration with the National Institute of Electronics and Information
Technology (NIELIT), Dimapur, and the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of the
college. The programme witnessed the active participation of both staff and students,
reflecting the institution’s commitment to promoting digital safety and responsible online
behavior.
The session featured a distinguished team of resource persons, including Mr. Tia Temjen

Dimapur. He was accompanied by Mr. Vekutu (WBL Intern), Mr. Kimatsung (WBL Intern),

In his address, Mr. Daniel Meren emphasized the growing importance of cyber vigilance in
today’s digitally connected world. He elaborated on the increasing instances of cybercrime,
online fraud, phishing attacks, identity theft, and data breaches, urging participants to remain
cautious while using digital platforms. Practical guidelines were shared to help safeguard
personal information, banking details, and institutional data from cyber threats.
A key highlight of the programme was the introduction of the ICSAS (Initiative for Cyber
Security Aware Society in North-Eastern States) mobile application, developed by National

the application can be used to learn fundamental cyber security concepts. Participants were
informed that they could earn certificates upon successful completion of the course modules,
which would add value to their academic and professional profiles.
