Truecaller and CyberPeace Foundation come together to give cyber safety lessons through street plays

Addressing the audience in Rajasthan, Rajeev Sharma IPS, Additional DGP cum Director, Rajasthan Police Academy said, “As per reports, 1.5 million cyber-attacks happen annually, which means almost 4000 cyber attacks happen every day and around 170 attacks happen every hour. The best solution to address this appears to be having awareness. Unless you are equipped and aware of how to deal with all these issues, things will become out of control. We’d like to reach the highest number in Rajasthan when it comes to these pieces of training with Truecaller and CPF.”

Pragya Misra, Director of Public Affairs, Truecaller said, “ In our efforts to reach citizens beyond colleges and universities, we explored street plays as a medium of communication to pass on the message and importance of cyber safety in an innovative, fun and lighthearted manner. We are confident that citizens will have a better response to visuals of street plays, helping to carry its lessons further to their friends and family to make their digital experience safer.”

Ahead of the training session at the college, the Nukkad Natak was also organised at prime locations within Jaipur such as Sindi Camp bus stand, Chandpole Bazaar and Devri Ji ka Mandir in Johri Bazaar to attract the attention of the masses and deliver the message on cyber safety to protect them from scams and frauds. The street plays were performed by a specialised group of artists ‘Steps For Change’.
