Panaji: In a major step towards strengthening cyber security and smart policing, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant inaugurated several key initiatives aimed at enhancing Goa’s policing infrastructure with cutting-edge technology.
The newly launched initiatives include:
1. Cyber Yodha Initiative – A specialized program to tackle cyber threats effectively.
2. AI-ML Lab – Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to enhance cybercrime investigations.
3. Dedicated Cyber Helpline Number 1930 – A quick-response helpline for cyber fraud victims.
