                      In  today’s  world,  people  spend  a lot of time  on the Internet. It’s important  to  be  responsible
                      and respectful, both in real life and online. This is known as Digital Citizenship. It means using
                      technology in a kind, smart and safe way.

                             WHAT IS CITIZENSHIP?

                      Citizenship is like being a member of a family or sports team.
                      Just like team members have roles and responsibilities, citizens
                      also have rights and duties. Rights include things like voting,
                      receiving social benefits and being able to work. Responsibilities
                      include  following the laws,  paying  taxes  and treating  others
                      with respect. Citizenship means being a recognised member
                      of a country with certain rights, privileges and responsibilities.

                             WHAT IS DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP?

                      Digital  citizenship refers  to  the responsible,
                      ethical  and safe use  of technology.  It involves

                      understanding how to interact with others online,
                      respecting  their  rights  and  at  the  same  time,
                      protecting your own digital footprint. It also teaches
                      skills for communicating, collaborating and acting
                      positively on online platforms.

                      Patents and trademarks are real-world examples
                      of how ownership is protected and credit is given
                      to creators. A patent safeguards new inventions,
                      such as a gadget or software, while a trademark protects names, logos or symbols that represent
                      a brand, like the Nike tick or the Amul girl. These rights ensure that innovators and companies
                      receive recognition for their original work. As responsible digital citizens, it is important to respect
                      these protections by not copying or misusing others’ ideas or brand identities.
