The University Grants Commission (UGC) has developed the Handbook on Basics of Cyber Hygiene for Higher Education Institutions to create awareness and strengthen the culture of cyber safety within universities and colleges.
This comprehensive handbook aims to educate students, teachers, and administrators about online safety, responsible digital behavior, and protection against cyber threats such as phishing, malware, identity theft, and misinformation.

It also provides step-by-step guidance on reporting cybercrimes, understanding India’s cyber security framework, and implementing safe digital practices across educational institutions.
