DCP Gaurav Rajpurohit Inaugurates Gurugram Cyber Security Internship Program
The 12th Guru Gram Police Cyber Security Summer Internship (GPCSSI 2025) was inaugurated with over 12,000 applicants and 1,100 interns selected nationwide. Interns will undergo intensive cybersecurity training and act as Cyber Ambassadors and Cyber Warriors to promote cyber hygiene. Gaurav Rajpurohit, DCP East, officially opened the 12th Guru Gram Police Cyber Security Summer Internship (GPCSSI 2025) today at DAV Public School in Sector 49. More than 12,000 applications have been submitted for the internship this year. DCP Rajpurohit gave a perceptive speech after the inauguration about the increasing shift from physical to digital threats and the significance of youth cyber knowledge. He emphasised how important it will be for interns to promote cyber hygiene in their communities as Cyber Ambassadors and Cyber Warriors. Over 12,000 applications have been submitted for the internship this year, which is a huge response. 550 Cyber Warriors (including undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate, and working professionals) and 550 Cyber Ambassadors (children from Grades 9–12) were chosen from among these 1,100 interns, ensuring a true pan-India participation. Dr. Rakshit Tandon, ACP Cybercrime, Pranshu Dewan, and DCP East, Gaurav Rajpurohit, customarily lit the lamp to start the ritual. Using video testimonies from former interns who are now thriving in the cybersecurity industry, Dr. Tandon narrated the internship’s inspirational path over the last 12 years. Students from DAV Public School raised awareness of digital hazards and the value of online safety with a potent nukkad natak (street play) on the subject of cybercrime. In his vote of thanks, Charu Maini thanked the students, mentors, and police for their commitment to this admirable cause. According to a Guru Gram police spokeswoman, interns will receive in-depth, practical training in cybersecurity, cyber hygiene, investigations, and tool development over the course of the following month. The program will culminate with a grand closing ceremony on July 2, 2025, and feature guest lectures from national cyber specialists.
