The ICT Division is making a proposal relating to establishment of a ‘Cyber Crimes Department’ for submitting it to the relevant authorities. The existing ICT Act, 2013 will also be amended taking opinions from lawyers, judges, police, journalists and victims to make the law suiting to the needs of the time.

A massive awareness programme will supplement the legal measures. The programme titled ‘National Level Cyber Security and Enhancing Awareness on ICT Act,’ formally inaugurated on May 10, will organize seminars, meetings and road shows in 64 districts and 128 colleges and 73 universities to create awareness among the computer and internet users about cyber crimes and ICT Act.
