The Keynote on Digital Thinking would be delivered by Sanjay Sahay, a line of thinking in tune with the requirements of the day, providing the capability to navigate in the Digital Age / Mess, with the ensuing fear of massive Digital Addiction. Cyber insecurity has grown by leaps and bounds in the last couple of years  and remains to be the number one international threat since 2014.  Governments and business enterprises have been working out the right response mechanism and operationalising it.  Improvement is the key as the threat landscape keeps on changing. It is the so called unorganised sector people who do not have access to the latest threat landscape, Cyber awareness training, support and help are the most vulnerable to this challenge and the ensuing exploitation in a variety of ways. 

School and College girls and children fall in the most vulnerable category, amongst the general users and usage of  this technology / social media is also the maximum in them. It is thus imperative that there is need for a Massive Cyber Security Awareness Initiative in the interest of the vulnerable sections, for families congenial atmosphere and in the interest of a healthy society. Besides this, the social media and gaming addiction is another connected challenge. All stakeholders have to be brought to the same Cyber Page. The unison in having the same understating of the issue leads to buy in. Buy is the real initiator of change. Things have to change to digitally safer and socially saner levels. A necessity cannot be termed as in course or out of the course. This would be the ultimate life saving skill on a daily basis, both for the present and the future. The course content and pedagogy will have to be a upgraded, whenever required.

Slowly, it should find its way into the computer science classes itself, for good.
