The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from students, teachers, and local residents. Representatives from the Indian Army, along with subject matter experts, led the sessions, providing practical insights and strategies to address modern security challenges.
The lecture commenced with a focus on physical security, where attendees were taught self-defence techniques, situational awareness, and measures to enhance personal safety in public spaces. This was followed by a session on emotional and mental well-being, emphasising the importance of mental resilience, stress management, and building supportive social networks.
In the digital and cyber security segment, experts educated participants about the rising threats of cybercrimes, phishing, and online fraud. Demonstrations on safeguarding personal data, recognising scams, and securing devices were particularly well-received.
