Summary:

India reached a critical milestone by achieving Tier 1 classification in the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) 2024, with an impressive score of 98.49 out of 100. This designation places India among 'role-model' nations, demonstrating its commitment to global cybersecurity norms. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) played a vital role, and Minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia described it as a proud moment for Bharat, highlighting India's strong telecom and cybersecurity measures.

India's outstanding cybersecurity performance can be attributed to various programs aimed at improving cyber resilience. The government has established robust foundations for cybercrime laws and standards, enabling legal authorities to address risks effectively. Sectoral Computer Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) provide technical assistance. Education and awareness, integrated into school curricula and public campaigns, enhance security. International cooperation, talent development, and government incentives drive research and innovation, cementing India's leadership in global cybersecurity.
