“ It is indeed a pleasure to be present at one of the first endeavours, in West Bengal, in setting up an institute of the kind which West Bengal does not have at present. I know Misum Hossain … … he has plenty of talent, and has come up with this idea of starting this institute in West Bengal. Today the world has been thrown open because of the Internet and sites, which are accessible to all with basic knowledge of computers. Cyberspace is intangible property belonging to no one yet having its boundaries. It is important for everyone to understand cyber laws. I am extremely happy that Misum Hossain has taken this step. It is encouraging to see so many people present here interested in knowing what this Institute has to offer. I am certain that this will take off and take off in a good way. I wish Misum all the best and I hope that this institute goes on to prosper. ”

“ The cyber technology is going to touch the sky where we cannot move an inch without the help of the same. But as they say, if the police are master in Criminology, the thieves are PhD in Criminology because they are always ahead of the administration in adopting the criminal aspect of the whole game. The educated criminals are more equipped in the cyberspace due to their affinity with the cyber technology. Therefore the need comes for a person who knows the law and the technology at the same time. And the administration particularly the police will have the best benefit out of this institution. Let GSTJ bloom like a flower.”

“ The development of information technology has made a revolution … … and brought about a turning point in civilization. Important information is being stored and sent across the countries of the world. The information being transferred is not stored in traditional paper documents but in digital storage and there lies the need for cyber protection and cyber laws. Problem arises in all sectors of human activities … … unfortunately even though the cyber laws, The Information Technology Act has been enacted in 2000, it has failed to take complete shape in India so far. Moreover mere enactment of law cannot make it operative. People are to be made aware of such laws. Unless they are aware, the efficacy of these laws will remain unfulfilled and there will continue to be abuses. There needs to be properly trained manpower trained by universities and technical institutes about the laws.”
