“For the last few months we have initiated some virtual and physical programmes. This particular programme is one of the initiatives highlighting the rise of cyber crime and the need to create awareness since the older generation is at the receiving end. A bit of awareness can improve your overall security and safety as far cyber crime is concerned. Also, it is very important that when we meet there should be a cultural interaction, the Pujas are right ahead of us and we are already in the process of making programs for the Pronam members and conduct meaningful sessions in the future,” Goyal said.
