Cyber Jagrukta Diwas (CJD) is a unique and ongoing initiative led by the Team Matrix committee, aimed at promoting cybersecurity awareness among various sections of society. Held on a monthly basis (subject to feasibility), this outreach program reflects our strong commitment to creating a digitally safe environment through continuous education and engagement.
Under this initiative, members of Team Matrix voluntarily visit different communities such as government schools, underprivileged neighborhoods, IT companies, college cleaning staff, and secondary high school students, among others. The sessions are carefully tailored to suit the understanding and needs of each group, making complex cyber concepts simple and relatable.
Our mission is to ensure that cyber awareness reaches every corner of society, especially those who may not have regular access to such information.
By initiating conversations and spreading awareness at the grassroots level, we hope to build a community that is cyber-aware, vigilant, and resilient in the digital age.
Cyber Jagrukta Diwas is not just an event—it is a movement towards a safer cyberspace, driven by the passion and responsibility of young cyber advocates.
