Judges in Rajasthan took a unique step by visiting schools to educate students about cybersecurity. This initiative aimed to raise awareness about the increasing risks in the digital world. The judicial officers from various districts, including Jaipur, Kota, and Ajmer, explained common cyber fraud techniques and ways to prevent them.
The program, named ‘Empowering Rajasthan Youth: A Legal Literacy Initiative – 2026’, involved judges joining teachers in classrooms to provide cybersecurity and legal awareness education. Nearly 1,400 judicial officers participated in the ‘Transformative Tuesday’ campaign, conducting sessions in selected schools across the state. Students were informed about issues like cyberbullying, online fraud, digital arrest scams, and safe social media usage.
The initiative, led by the Rajasthan State Legal Services Authority, is part of a broader effort to enhance legal awareness among young citizens. The campaign, initiated by Acting Chief Justice Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, was launched during a state-level cyber law conference on February 20. The goal is to reach over four lakh students in a day through sessions designed for Classes 8 to 12.
The program will continue throughout the year with weekly sessions covering various legal topics. Apart from cybersecurity, students will learn about laws concerning daily life, constitutional rights, legal aid, child rights, women’s rights, and responsible citizenship. A ‘Court Wali Didi Complaint Box’ will be placed in schools for students to anonymously submit grievances for review and resolution by the Legal Services Authority teams.
The initiative not only seeks to raise awareness but also aims to instill a sense of responsibility, legal literacy, and respect for the law among students.
