The initiative was started a year back, but it got going in a big way three-four months ago. We are witnessing a gradual drop (in cyber crime cases). Earlier, almost every day, police teams from other states visited the district over phishing cases.
Jharkhand바카라s Jamtara district, infamous as India바카라s cyber crime hub, is making efforts to tide over the dubious distinction through a unique campaign 바카라Police ki Pathshala바카라 (Police바카라s School), which aims at imparting quality education and creating awareness about phishing activities.
The drive, a joint initiative of the police and district administration, is being carried out across libraries in 118 panchayats, officials said. 바카라Special focus has been given to 35 libraries of two cyber crime-hit blocks -- Karmatand and Narayanpur. The objective is to make the youths aware about phishing and make them a participant in developmental activities,바카라 Deputy Superintendent of Police (Cyber) Majrul Hoda told PTI.
The campaign also strives to prepare the youths for competitive examinations through expert guidance, he said. 바카라The initiative was started a year back, but it got going in a big way three-four months ago. We are witnessing a gradual drop (in cyber crime cases). Earlier, almost every day, police teams from other states visited the district over phishing cases,바카라 Hoda claimed.
He said an officer from every police station visits the libraries to teach the students. 바카라The college graduates are being trained for competitive examinations. The youths, who were earlier lured to cyber crime activities, are now concentrating on bagging respectable jobs. We are also identifying more avenues of livelihood such as agriculture-based employment,바카라 Hoda said.
Many students, who were a part of 바카라Police ki Pathshala바카라, have cracked competitive tests. 바카라The officers in the library helped me a lot in preparing for a railway examination and cracking it,바카라 said Mahesh Munda, a resident of Nala block in the district. Deepak Singh, hailing from the same block, was recently selected for the Indian Reserve Battalion.
바카라The library and police guidance helped me achieve my dream,바카라 he said. Jamtara, located aroud 210-km from state capital Ranchi, had reported 76 cases of cyber crime and 187 fraudsters were arrested in 2021. As many as 72 cases have been registered till August this year, and 97 people arrested in this connection, police said.
Rampant phishing in the district was also the subject of a recent web series. The place has long been associated with the 19th century polymath and social reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, who had come to Karmatand area of Jamtara in early 1873 to recuperate from poor health, and ended up spending over 18 years in the village. 바카라The police and the administration are trying to regain the past glory of the district,바카라 Hoda added.
