Union Home
Minister Amit Shah today inaugurated the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre
(I4C) and also dedicated National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal to the nation
today. This state-of-the-art Centre is located in New Delhi.

 The scheme to set up I4C was approved in
October 2018 at an estimated cost of around 416 crore rupees to deal with all
types of cyber-crimes in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. At the
initiative of Home Ministry, 15 States and UTs have given their agreement to
set up Regional Cyber Crime Coordination Centres.

On the other
hand, National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (www.cybercrime.gov.in) is a
citizen-centric initiative that will enable citizens to report cyber-crimes
online through the portal.

All the
cyber-crime related complaints will be accessed by the concerned law
enforcement agencies in the States and Union Territories for taking action as
per law.

This portal
was launched on pilot basis on 30th August, 2019. It enables filing of all
cyber-crimes with specific focus on crimes against women, children, particularly
child pornography, child sex abuse material, online content pertaining to
rapes.

So far, over
700 Police Districts and 3,900 Police Stations have been connected with this
portal. Home Ministry is committed to provide and create an eco- system for
dealing with the cyber-crimes in a comprehensive and coordinated manner.
