We thank IPS Shikha Goel Ma’am (Shikha Goel, IPS) - Principal Secretary- Home Department, Telangana Government; Director- Cyber Security Bureau & FSL, Telangana Police, for her invaluable support. As Ma’am rightly highlights, while technology has made our lives easier, it has also created serious cyber risks, especially for women and children. Most cyber crimes, however, are preventable with the right awareness, guidance and timely action. Over the years, her guidance has been instrumental in helping us conduct cyber safety workshops, create awareness on this critical subject and empower the general population with the right processes to stay safe online. It is the encouragement and support of authorities like her that inspires us and fuels our mission to make cyberspace safe for all. Once again, a big thank you to Ma’am. We remain committed to this cause. Jai Hind. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #IPSShikhaGoel #CyberSafety #India

A few seconds of verification can prevent unnecessary anxiety from spreading across an entire family. Watch the video for more safety tips. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety

Digital discipline is a national responsibility where restraint, verification, and responsible sharing matter more than speed. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #VerifyBeforeYouShare

Disappearing chats can create false confidence, but anything shared online can still be saved, recorded, forwarded, backed up, or misused before it vanishes. Treat every message as permanent, avoid sharing private images, OTPs, passwords, IDs, financial details, or confidential work information in casual chats, and teach children that vanishing messages do not remove consequences.

Leadership, courage and voice define the women of today. Across sectors, women are stepping into positions of strength and responsibility. With that strength must come the confidence to speak up against abuse and mistreatment. Silence protects the wrong person. Shame belongs to the offender, never the victim. We thank DGP Shikha Goel, IPS ma'am for sharing this powerful message and standing with women everywhere. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #WomensDay #WomenInLeadership #SpeakUp
