Samaya Dharmaraj reports:

Recognising the critical need for a secure andaccountable digital ecosystem, the government has taken significant steps to establish a robust framework for data protection and cyber resilience.

At the heart of these efforts lies the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), complemented by proactive measures to address data breaches, enforce accountability, and create widespread awareness about responsible digital practices.
