FDPPI is your Privacy Companion

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.

As we are discussing PDPB 2019 as the Data Protection legislation of India today, it becomes necessary that we remember that this is the new incarnation of an earlier Bill called “Personal Data Protection Bill 2006” which was introduced in the Indian Paliament along with the ITA 2000 amendment bill of 2006 which became the ITA amendment act 2008 and got passed in December 2008. The PDPB 2006 however lapsed and was forgotten

But for those of us interested in studying the legislative history of Indian legislation on Data Protection, it is important to recognize the PDPB 2006 as the past Janma of PDPB 2019.

A complete discussion of this Bill was held by Naavi under the aegis of Digital Society of India way bac on 17th October 2008 as part of the Digital Society Day celebrations. It was hosted by KLE Law College and supported by KILPAR. Some of the photographs of the event are interesting.

Mr Suresh Kumar, the then Law Minister of Karnataka inaugurated a seminar on Privacy on October 17, 2008 at KLE Law College, Bangalore, seen here with Naavi

Complete details of the event are available  available here .

A Copy of the Personal Data Protection Bill 2006 presented in the Parliament at that time is available here and is worth looking into when analyzing the legislative history of PDPB 2019.

When the Indian Data Protection Summit 2021 (IDPS 2021) discusses the Past, Present and Future of Privacy Law in India, it is necessary to remember this 2006 version of the Bill which faded into oblivion.

Naavi, the Chairman of FDPPI had earlier undertaken  “Karnataka Cyber Law Awareness Movement” in 2005 during which long certification courses were conducted across Karnataka in Bangalore, Mysore, Hubli and Mangalore under the umbrella of Cyber Law College.

In a new comprehensive outreach program, Naavi is now scheduling an “Indian National Privacy Awareness  Movement” (INPAM) starting from the Vijayadashami day on 15th October 2021.

The INPAM would be a free program aimed at ordinary citizens and students to make them aware of the concept of “Privacy”, “Data Protection” and the “PDPB 2019”.

The program would be conducted on the Mobile App- FDPPI available here:

A Feedback from a participant of the previous program:

What was unique about this training and certification was the depth of coverage. With Naavi Sir being an expert in ITA 2000/08, he was able to bring in the required relevance and he was able to quote on specific cases and how ITA 2000/08 by itself includes data privacy requirements. His references to the HC judgements on matters of Personal Data Protection emphasized the importance. The content and teaching were well rounded and inclusive of surrounding aspects that perhaps one cannot expect in more mundane training programmes. The content presented by Ramesh Sir was very very elaborate on GDPR and all encompassing …. the discussions and points made by Naavi Sir while clarifying our doubts were themselves like a separate training session with valuable insights conveyed which he had gathered over the years …. overall it was a very enriching imparting of knowledge….
