Discussing the need for a safer online environment, Khurrana stated, “In our modern society, individuals of all ages, from children as young as 5-6 years to older adults, are utilizing the internet for convenience.

This year, for Safer Internet Day, I visited an NGO named PRATYeK with UNICEF, where I learned important internet safety rules alongside the children.”
