Keeping in view the pervasive nature and impact of cyber security on all walks of life - economic and
social, Government of India has identified Information Security as one of the major thrust area for
launching various development programs. One of the key elements essential for information security is
availability of right kind of qualified and well trained human resources, who could take up Research &
Development (R&D), develop indigenous solutions / software, secure and maintain various systems
including critical infrastructure.
The Government has approved a project entitled, 'Information Security Education and Awareness
(ISEA) Project Phase-II' in the year 2014 with an objective of (i) capacity building in the area of
Information Security, (ii) training of Government personnel and (iii) creation of mass Information
Security awareness targeted towards various user segments.
Capacity building in the area of Information Security to address the human resource requirement of
the country, by
Generation of core research manpower to undertake basic/fundamental research, applied
research, research in the area of product/solution design and development and in selected
thematic areas of national strategic importance to build indigenous

Preface The aims of education simultaneously reflect the current needs and aspirations of a society as well as its lasting values, and
the immediate concerns of a community. Education is a life-long process.Qualityeducation is today’s need as it is the
development of intellectual skills and knowledge, which will equiplearners to fulfill the needs of professionals,
decisionmakers and trainers. The convergent and mutually reinforcing impactsof globalization and the information
andcommunication revolution have radically changed notonly the methods and structure of learning, butalso the relative
importance of factors of continuous learning.A well trained work force and well informed people,that can apply not only
know - how, but is also capableof analysis and decision making are the key factors of development, main drivers of growth
and majordeterminants of competitiveness in the globaleconomy. To fulfill the need, an education system isrequired which
is flexible, basic education shouldprovide the foundation for learning, and secondary and tertiary education should develop
core skills thatencourage creative and critical thinking. In addition,it is necessary to develop an effective lifelong learning’
system to provide continuing education and skill upgrading to persons after they have left formaleducation in order to
provide the changing skillsnecessary to be competitive in the new globaleconomy.
The Digital India Programme is a flagship Programme of the Government of India with a vision to transform India into a
digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The use of ICT is further leveraged to provide facilities to the
stakeholders in India.The tremendous effectiveness of the computer and computing technology in shaping modern society
has created the need for an educated public that can utilize such technology most effectively for the betterment of society
and humankind.
National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 focused on connecting knowledge to life outside the school, ensuring that
learning is shifted away from old methods, enriching the curriculum to provide for overall development of children rather
than remain textbook centric, making examinations more flexible and integrated into classroom life and, nurturing an over-
riding identity informed by caring concerns within the democratic polity of the country.
In the present context, there are new developments and concerns to which our curriculum must respond. Technology has
the capability to address all these issues. Trends such as the growing penetration of high speed broadband, low cost
computing devices and a strong thrust from the Government are accelerating the transformation of India’s education
system.All students need to be provided access to inclusive learning environment to acquire physical, emotional and
intellectual competencies for life. It is expected, that once the knowledge in Information / cyber security is provide to the
student, who will create a safe and supportive environment for themselves to use Internet by which we can create a better
cyber aware society.
As CBSE is credited for being the most innovative, progressive and contemporary board while remaining in sync with the
national goals and inspirations, we would like to propose few enhancements in the syllabus which are inclined towards
Information / cyber security in a systematic way for each class to add value and enhance the quality of learning experiences
for students.
The purpose of this exercise is to design a model course structure /syllabus, which acts as a benchmark for various topics to
be enhanced in the core CBSE syllabus with information / cyber security concepts so as to make each and every student
understand the meaning of security while using the latest technologies and devices. Information security awareness is the
need of the hour as more and more children are getting addicted to the technology and our future depends on how safe we
use them. Children acquire varied skills naturally while growing up in their environment. They also observe life and the
world around them. Such reforms will also facilitate the practice of the widely acknowledged curricular principles of moving
from "known to the unknown", from "concrete to abstract", from "local to global" and “unsecured to secure”.
Making children sensitive to the safe use of Internet, safe use of technology and secure computing environment and the
need for its individual protection is another important curricular concern. The emergence of new technological choices and
living styles witnessed during the last century has lead to this requirement. Each topics and the level of knowledge for each
class is thoroughly reviewed by experts in field of Information security. At the end we hope that after introducing the
proposed syllabus on information / cyber security in CBSE/NCERT/IB curriculum, it is expected to create a long-term impact
of creating cyber security aware students who would significantly contribute towards making India as a secured cyber
nation.

Cyberbullying
Bob was a brilliant student in Grammar School. He was little bit of fat but
very active.
There was a small boy called Nick. Although he wasn’t very big, he was
strong, and he loved to tease all the boys and girls who went to school
with him. What he loved to do most was to comment Bob in the class
by calling him fatty.
Bob used to feel bad and cried a
lot. He became very dull and was
not able to study well in the class and got less marks
in his exams and he used to sit in the corner of the
class.
After observing his behaviour in the class his teacher
called him to the staffroom and asked
Teacher: “Bob! what happen to you?”
“You seems to be very inactive in class”
Bob replied: “Everybody in classroom calling me as

other children to tease or hurt them in the school premises or playground. Those
bullies had names and faces that we could recognize and do the following things:
To stay away from them.
To report about them to the authorities in school.
Also ask our parents to speak to their parents
But the if the same thing happens by using the computer and gaming sites or
Mobile phone is an extension of bullying called Cyberbullying.
