5 Indian Teenagers Won Google Web Safety Contest

Five brilliant Indian teenagers have won a web contest conducted by Google India on the Web Safety issues. The world's largest search engine provider Google announced the result on Wednesday, in which 5 Indian Teens have been declared victorious in this global competition. "The competition witnessed several entries from across schools in the form of sketches, videos, and apps and were judged on creativity, reach and impact," the Indian subsidiary of the Silicon Valley-based firm said in a statement in Bengaluru.

The champions of the challenge are Mavika Boyini from NASR School, Hyderabad; Vaidehi Reddy, Army Public School, Pune; Kanish Chugh, DLF Public School, Ghaziabad; Raviteja Anumukonda, Chirec Public School, Hyderabad; and Neya Saravanarajan, the Hindu Senior Secondary School, Chennai. It must be noted that Google had started this competition from 2014.

The youths were assigned to make their own online safety campaigns aimed at curbing cyberbullying and leaving a safe digital footprint. Boyini portrayed a sketch of kid's that shows peers being asked not to post anything which their grandma dislike, said the statement. "Don't be rude, don't post inappropriate stuff and follow the grandma rule" are some her dos and don'ts.

Reddy advised web users not to uncover place of residence, individual subtle elements and cease from unlawful downloads through a video, the announcement said. Chug developed an anti-phishing game to enlighten peers on how to spot fake logos while Anumukonda talked about the need to avoid easy and predictable passwords to preferring complex unhackable ones. And Saravanarajan made a catchy tune, Mr. Two Faces, to remind everybody to turn on privacy settings.

All the winners will be rewarded by Google, and will also be gifted with Chromebooks and tablets, the statement added.
