In the present digital era, the internet has become an integral part of students’ academic and social lives. Hence, it is essential to educate learners about proper online manners, cyber safety, and digital responsibility.

The programme aimed to sensitize students to the importance of respectful communication, privacy protection, and the responsible use of digital platforms. It served as an effective platform to guide students in understanding how their online actions can influence themselves and others.

NEED AND SIGNIFICANCE

In today’s digital age, students spend a considerable amount of time online for learning, communication, and entertainment. While digital technology offers immense educational benefits, it also poses challenges such as cyberbullying, misuse of social media, invasion of privacy, and inappropriate online behavior. Therefore, there is a strong need to educate students about netiquette, which refers to the code of conduct governing responsible online behavior.

The Conscientization Programme was significant in guiding students towards becoming responsible digital citizens. Awareness of netiquette helps learners maintain respectful communication, build positive digital footprints, and protect themselves from online risks. This programme not only supported academic growth but also contributed to the overall moral and social development of students, preparing them to function ethically in a digital society.
