<p>Mumbai: In a strategic move to combat cybercrime by sensitising the younger generations, 'Wht Now', an NGO, has partnered with HSNC University in Mumbai. </p><p>Through this collaborative initiative, they aim to train the university students on how to identify and avoid the common tactics used by cyber-thieves, and thereby protect their digital assets.</p><p>This initiative is a part of Wht Now’s National Youth Ambassador Program under which they aim to train over 5,000 students across the country by this year-end. In view of the increasing cases of cyber-crimes such as sextortion, cyberbullying, identity theft etc, they launched this initiative last month. </p><p>HSNC University is the first educational institute they have collaborated with in this transformative journey.</p>.<p>This programme has been designed to equip the students with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to not only protect themselves, but also support their peers, families, and communities.</p><p>Neeti Goel, founder of Wht Now said, “We have signed an MOU with HSNC University, and we will start working with them soon. Through a series of structured workshops and interactive sessions, students will be trained by a multidisciplinary team including cybersecurity professionals, legal experts, and mental health counsellors. These sessions have been designed to address the entire spectrum of cybercrime—from understanding common tactics used by perpetrators to managing emotional impact and taking the right legal steps.”</p><p>Col Dr Hemlata K Bagla, Vice Chancellor, HSNC University, Mumbai said: “In today’s climate of heightened digital vulnerability, threats such as bank frauds, fake digital arrests, and coercive demands for money in the name of war or national duty are deeply concerning. These are not merely scams, they are emotional manipulations that prey on trust, fear, and patriotism.”</p><p>To support victims and concerned individuals, Wht Now has also launched a dedicated national helpline — +91-9019115115 providing immediate assistance, guidance, and referral support for cases related to cyber abuse, harassment, and online threats.</p><p>Over 40 other academic institutions have also expressed interest in partnering with Wht Now so far.</p>
