Reliance Foundation and C-DAC, Hyderabad, announced the launch of e-SafeHER on April 13th, 2026, a Cyber Security Awareness Training programme to enable one million women across rural India, to safely and confidently participate in the digital ecosystem. MoU was signed and exchanged by C-DAC Hyderabad with Reliance Foundation in the presence of Shri S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY.

e-SafeHER aims to build a gender-responsive, community-led model for cyber-safe digital inclusion reaching one million women across India over three years.

This initiative is anchored under MeitY's Information Security Education and Awareness (ISEA) programme through C-DAC Hyderabad, enabling content and training material for dissemination. Reliance Foundation will catalyse dissemination in rural communities across India, working in particular through women's Self-Help Groups (SHGs). This initiative is another step forward in Reliance Foundation's work to strengthen digital inclusion for women. e-SafeHER aims to strengthen last mile cybersecurity awareness - particularly among women in rural India, who are increasingly engaging with digital platforms for financial transactions, livelihoods, and access to essential services.

C-DAC, Hyderabad will lead the development, localization, and continuous enhancement of cybersecurity training content under the ISEA Project, including multilingual adaptation. Reliance Foundation will leverage its extensive grassroots presence and women's empowerment platforms across rural India, for delivery through a peer-led, community-based model.

By combining MeitY's national cybersecurity framework, C-DAC's technical expertise, and Reliance Foundation's community-driven delivery model, e-SafeHER seeks to ensure that women across rural India are not only digitally included, but also digitally secure.
