WNS partners Niti Aayog to extend education on cybersecurity

The corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of business process outsourcing firm WNS has partnered with Atal Tinkering Labs (ATL), an initiative under the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) by NITI Aayog, to provide training to the country’s children and youth on cybersafety.

The digital education will be provided by WNS Cares Foundation through its platform CyberSmart.

“CyberSmart was created with the intent of making the subject of cybersecurity simple and easy to understand while educating them about the need to navigate the virtual world cautiously. This partnership is sure to enhance the accessibility of the platform and help impact thousands of children significantly, across India,” said Shamini Murugesh, Honorary Chief Mentor, WCF.


ATL will use CyberSmart and other WCF’s digital-led programs in more than 6,500 schools across India that are part of its network to introduce students to themes related to cybersecurity, and other relevant areas.

“The Atal Tinkering Labs were established with the objective of fostering curiosity, creativity and innovation in school students across the country. Cybersecurity for all citizens is a key national agenda and this partnership will ensure that it is achieved, especially for our children and youth,” said R Ramanan, Mission Director, Atal Innovation Mission.
