The Centre for Research, Development, and Training in Cyber Laws and Cyber Security (CRDT-CLCS) of TNNLU comprises a dedicated team of research assistants and volunteers guided by the faculty in charge. The Centre’s primary mission is to sensitise the public to the escalating Artificial Intelligence (AI)-influenced cybercrimes, among other cybersecurity issues in cyberspace, particularly in Tamil Nadu, and to promote awareness on cyber laws and safety.

To achieve these objectives, the Centre has conducted several national-level webinars and competitions on contemporary development and issues in cyberspace, as well as circulated pamphlets to raise awareness about the same. The Centre also conducts in-depth research on existing legal frameworks in cyber law, cybersecurity policies, emerging technologies and their legal implications, cybercrime legislation, and enforcement. The Centre actively organises various campus events for the TNNLU students. Recently, the centre had organised its Cyber Fest, Databytes '23, which received enthusiastic participation from the student community.

In the past years, the centre had successfully undertaken the following activities, including:

  • Conducted a National Webinar on the topic, ‘Cybercrimes against women and children- legal response’ and the resource person was Dr. Nagarathna, Associate Professor of Law, National Law School of India University, Bangalore.
