Ms. A. Vaishnavi Kamath, Mr. Adithya B. R., and Mr. Deepak B.

To further illustrate these concepts, Ms. Ritu Pai, Ms. Shreya M. S., Mr. Manvith, and Mr. Shailesh Shenoy M. performed a series of four to five skits. These enactments aimed to enhance understanding and convey practical guidelines for staying safe online and recovering from potential cyber-attacks.Following the skits, a quiz was conducted to ensure students grasped the key concepts and takeaways regarding cyber fraud, online harm, and online safety, reinforcing the key messages of the awareness campaign. Our students also shared flyers and posters for display on notice boards, contributing to the broader dissemination of information. Mr. Shamanth V, the Head Master of D. K. Z. P.
