Jharkhand Governor stresses youth role in tackling cybercrime

Ranchi, Oct 5 (UNI) Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar on Monday urged youths to use their knowledge and skills to help prevent cybercrime and strengthen security in the state.
Addressing the second convocation of Jharkhand Raksha Shakti University at Aryabhatta Auditorium here, Gangwar said Jharkhand should be known for its efforts to prevent and effectively tackle cybercrime rather than for cybercrime itself.
He said cybercrime, digital fraud, data security threats, misuse of artificial intelligence, financial crimes and organised crime were creating new challenges for security agencies.
Gangwar said fake videos, voice cloning, misinformation and cyberattacks posed serious threats, making technical skills, analytical ability and continuous learning essential for young professionals in the security sector.
He urged the university to promote solution-oriented research on cybercrime, crime psychology, women and child safety, financial crimes, narcotics prevention, disaster management and modern policing.
The governor called for stronger academic and training partnerships between the university, police, administration, defence and technology institutions and industry.
He also stressed the need for greater opportunities for field training, internships, case studies and practical research to help students connect academic knowledge with real-world situations.
Gangwar said technology in the security sector should be used while respecting law, human dignity, civil rights and privacy.
He urged graduating students to remain humble after achieving success, uphold their values during challenging times and continue learning.
