She said young people navigate home, school and public spaces while simultaneously inhabiting a digital world where risks follow them constantly. She added that the council’s volunteer driven Suraksha Kavach safety clubs played a crucial role by guiding children on physical safety, cyber safety, emotional well-being and personal boundaries in a way that matched their age and daily reality.
She added that many current dangers, including cyberbullying, grooming, academic pressure and social comparison, often left scars on young minds, and emphasised that psychological safety and digital awareness must receive equal attention. She added that when safety became part of everyday learning, children became more informed, confident and prepared.
Drawing from her early years in Hyderabad, she said her work with Blue Cross, which she launched along her husband, actor Akkineni Nagarjuna, had shown how community driven programmes could make public spaces safer. She invited the safety clubs to collaborate on initiatives that helped children understand nature and animal behaviour, saying these lessons anchored them beyond the digital world.
She said SCSC’s partnership with police, industry and community groups showed the impact of collective effort and urged delegates to volunteer, noting that civic participation remained essential for building safer communities across Telangana.
