FDPPI has so far been focussing on one dimension of its activities namely the empowerment of the data protection professionals with necessary knowledge on data protection. Towards this objective, FDPPI has developed Certification programs on Indian Data Protection Laws (Module I), Certification program on Global Data Protection Laws (Module G) and the Certification program for Data Protection Officers (Certified PDPCMS auditor/Consultant).
In the second dimension, FDPPI has opened up its activities under P&Y program where it would reach out to the student community and build better awareness of Privacy/Data protection knowledge.
In the third dimension FDPPI has also opened up its activities to the corporate sector with its corporate training programs, the PDPSI framework for compliance.
With the Indian Parliament taking up for debate the new version of the bill PDPB 2021, we are closer than before for the Indian data protection law to be operative. Hence the need for intensifying the activities of FDPPI has arisen.
The first such intensified outreach program would be the “All India Privacy Awareness Program” to be undertaken by FDPPI in conjunction with Cyber Law College. This is meant for ordinary persons who are not conversant with the concept of Privacy and Data Protection and would explain the concept of Privacy as a human right, its implications in the data protection domain, the objective of the Data Protection Act, the diverse views of the Privacy Activists and the industry, the aspects of PDPB 2021 relevant for ordinary citizens of the country, etc.
Naavi would be launching the “Privacy and Data Protection For Everyone” campaign shortly to spread the awareness of the provisions of the new PDPB 2021 along with the background and the future trends in Privacy related issues in India.
This joint program of FDPPI and Cyber Law College should help in the absorption of the knowledge of the emerging data protection laws in India.
Watch out for the details.
Naavi
