Cyber Safety, Digital Wellbeing and Media Literacy for Students: Towards a Safety Framework for Aspiring India

Author(s) Kalyan Kumar, Magnum Sharma
Country India
Abstract Cyber safety refers to the practices adopted in the digital world for developing safe and sound habits that protect an individual's identity, privacy and devices from threats in the digital environment. The wellbeing of persons in the digital space has a direct bearing on their productivity at the workplace and on their overall progress.

As the digital space becomes an alternative workstation where students learn and explore in the process of knowledge building, the risk of vulnerability appears inevitable. A growing sense of awareness is now observed among students; however, in this data-driven age, the scale of vulnerability has increased considerably, and an existing gap continues to widen, underlining an urgent requirement for a cybersecurity and safety framework for Aspiring India.

The digital revolution, shaped by inexpensive mobile internet, has transformed the educational landscape of India; yet students face escalating threats to their personal identity, privacy and devices. There is an urgent need to bridge these safety concerns and to develop wellbeing strategies that safeguard the aspiring minds of India in their path of digital knowledge building.

Based on recent empirical studies, the National Crime Records Bureau's official 'Crime in India 2024' report released in May 2026 [7], and Haryana state enforcement data through June 2026 [2, 10], this paper focuses on the scale of the problem, reviews the current state of student cyber-safety awareness in India, identifies the structural gaps behind it, and proposes a three-pillar framework — “Awareness, Behaviour and Institutional Support” — for building sustainable digital wellbeing among citizens.
