Intel initiates Digital Wellness Online Challenge as a part of Digital India Initiative

In line with the Government’s Digital India vision during the “Digital India Week”, Intel has launched the Digital Wellness Online Challenge in collaboration with National e-Governance Division (NeGD). This online quiz is aimed at sensitizing and creating a culture of digital wellness amongst children from classes 6 to 12 by promoting awareness on the benefits as well as the potential threats of Internet-based interactions and familiarizing students with different types of cyber threats, consequences and protective measures.

Speaking about the challenge, Debjani Ghosh, Vice-President, Sales and Marketing Group and Managing Director, Intel South Asia, said, “Intel has long been committed to the vision of Digital India and strongly believes that it is the foundation for transforming India into a technology empowered entrepreneurial economy. For this vision to become a reality, enhancing digital awareness is a must amongst our young citizens who will create the future of the country. The Digital Wellness Online Challenge strived to do just that and with the strong support we received from NeGD and DeitY, were able to reach  over 5 lakh children in just a week through this Challenge.” See more
