Google with the Indian Police Dept. teaches smart online behaviour to students

With the increasing rate of CyberCrimes in India, Google has teamed up with the Indian Police Dept. and the Internet and Mobile association of India & started off the campaign of educating school students about cybercrimes and how to avoid it.
This campaign started off in Mumbai and now being run in metros including Chennai and Kolkata.
The campaign includes general "how to" and "what not to do" instructions and students were instructed not to divulge any kind of personal information to an unknown person online, to disclose passwords, date of birth and other sensitive information over the net.
I think this is a nice and innovative effort to teach the youngsters about the harms of the internet because of the increasing use of social networking sites which is a matter of great concern.
