As technology becomes deeply integrated into daily life—from classrooms to homes—understanding cyber safety, digital ethics, and online well-being has become not just a necessity but a responsibility. NCERT CIET training will address vital concerns such as technical vulnerabilities, cyberbullying, screen fatigue, digital addiction, and legal safeguards, ensuring a holistic approach to safe digital behaviour.
