KOHIMA, Jul 12: In order to tackle and mitigate the menace of cybercrime and to ensure a clean and safe cyberspace, the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has developed a Cyber Crime Volunteer Framework that enables the participation of citizens in tackling the cybercrime menace. The Cyber Crime Volunteer Framework aims to bring together citizens who have a passion to serve society.
The Cyber Crime Volunteer Framework can be accessed through the “National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP)” (www.cybercrime.gov.in). Any Indian citizen can get involved by registering on the NCRP as a “Cyber Volunteer” by clicking on the “Register as a Volunteer” tab and following the given instructions.
The volunteers will serve as a bridge between the Law Enforcement Agencies of the State and the Citizens and help spread awareness among the people. Given the rapid increase in cybercrime and the use of emergent technologies by cybercriminals, it becomes imperative to make the general public aware of the modus operandi of cybercrimes.
The volunteers will serve as a means to spread awareness among the general public and reach out to the public through various social media platforms or any other means of communication.
