The PU Cyber Wellness Clinic (PU-CWC) was inaugurated at the Centre for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (CSDE), Panjab University, Chandigarh, on March 5, 2025. This pioneering initiative is a collaboration between Panjab University and the Information Sharing and Analysis Center (and its incubation CopConnect), with CSR support from Zscaler, aiming to empower students, faculty, and citizens with essential cybersecurity knowledge and resources. Recognising the growing threats in the digital world, PU-CWC is a proactive step toward fostering cybersecurity awareness and providing immediate support to those in distress. The Clinic is supported by multi-disciplinary cybercrime first responders, cyber lawyers, cyber psychologists, and forensics experts to provide comprehensive victim support.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the PU-CWC is to offer cybercrime first aid to victims, thus ensuring that law enforcement agencies have the needed time and information to respond effectively. By bridging the gap between victims and law enforcement, the CWC enhances the fight against cybercrime. It also aims to conduct awareness and training programs for students, staff, faculty, and other citizens on cyber fraud and attacks.
