It’s been a decade since a thought was generated to teach voluntary to some children belonging to weaker and disadvantaged groups. In fact, it was not a thought but a dream, for long, which had been nurturing to provide a platform common to all children to raise their voice against injustice and inequality. The dream came to an end, and then began the story of Matri Sudha. It was not an uncommon j

ourney, but successive expenditure of efforts of some individuals to make children dreams come true. Matri Sudha has been evolved as child rights based organization envisioned to work with and for children in every possible manner to make sure that every effort must trickle down to the bottom to uplift the children. The very first efforts of four years had resulted into the mainstreaming of 168 children in formal education system. It was not the story of success but the starting of a journey which has had developed various such stories of success till now. During our long journey with children it has been felt that we have just benefitted a fraction of children belonging to such families and trying our level best to bring every children on a common platform where they are not neglected and discriminated but participated to develop.

From Awareness to Institutionalized Mechanism on Cyber Safety for Adolescents in Himachal Pradesh, India

The district administration of Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh has taken a historic initiative by deciding to develop dedicated Cyber Safety Guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure the online safety of adolescents. The decision was taken during a district-level meeting chaired by the District Magistrate (Deputy Commissioner), Sh. Rahul Kumar (IAS) & Co- Chaired by Additional Deputy Commissioner, Sh. Om Kant Thakur (IAS).

This significant initiative is receiving technical support from Mr. ARVIND SINGH, Director of Matri Sudha and Co-Founder of Cyber Chakravyuh, who has been actively working in the areas of child and women health, cyber safety of adolescents. The District Red Cross Society will function as the nodal agency for the initiative.
A committee has been constituted under the chairpersonship of the District Magistrate to draft and finalize the Cyber Safety Guidelines and SOPs.

With the increasing use of digital platforms, adolescents are facing challenges such as online grooming, cyberbullying, fake profiles, gaming addiction, and cyber fraud. In this context, the need for a structured policy framework and operational mechanism at the district level has long been felt.
The proposed Guidelines and SOPs will include:
1. Clear cyber safety protocols for schools
2. Reporting and counselling mechanisms for teachers
3. Digital parenting guidance for parents
4. Coordination among different departments

The District Magistrate stated that this initiative will not be limited to awareness-building alone; rather, it aims to establish an institutionalized and implementable framework to ensure the safety of adolescents in the digital world.
This initiative is expected to serve as a model for other districts and may lay the foundation for future policy development at the state and national levels.

The Bilaspur district administration’s initiative marks a significant step toward realizing the vision of a “Safe Digital India.”
