SANCHAR SAATHI : A NEW LAYER OF DIGITAL PUBLIC SECURITY

Sanchar Saathi is a digital security platform developed by the Department of Telecommunications to help citizens report suspicious communication, block and trace lost or stolen phones, and check unauthorized SIM cards issued in their name. With cyber fraud rising sharply, the government has asked smartphone makers to preinstall the app to ensure universal access to its safety features. By integrating tools like Chakshu and the Central Equipment Identity Register, Sanchar Saathi strengthens India’s mobile security ecosystem and empowers users to protect their digital identities.
