In an era where digital connectivity shapes our everyday lives, cyber safety is no longer optional — it’s essential. With online threats becoming more sophisticated, even simple missteps can lead to serious consequences. Recognizing the importance of digital awareness and the role of citizens in promoting safe online practices, the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), in collaboration with MyGov, has launched the CyberShield Creators Infographic Contest.
This unique initiative aims to empower creative minds to spread cyber awareness through impactful infographics, helping build a Cybercrime-free Digital Bharat.
What Is the CyberShield Creators Infographic Contest?
The contest calls upon individuals—especially students, digital creators, and cybersecurity enthusiasts—to design infographics that educate the public about practical, everyday habits for staying safe online. From recognizing phishing attempts and avoiding suspicious UPI requests to reporting scams via the 1930 cybercrime helpline, the aim is to turn digital best practices into eye-catching visuals that resonate with people of all ages.
By encouraging peer-to-peer learning through design, the contest amplifies the power of community-led cyber awareness.
Suggested Themes and Key Messages
Participants are encouraged to focus on key cyber safety practices such as:
-
Reporting Cybercrime: Use of helpline 1930 and cybercrime.gov.in

-
Recognizing Scams: Identify suspicious job offers, fake links, or investment traps
-
Strong Digital Habits: Use of secure passwords, regular software updates, two-factor authentication

The infographic should be simple, informative, visually engaging, and easy to understand for a wide audience.
