Nalgonda Innovator Adoni Venkat Ramana Rao Nominated for Prestigious People’s Choice SDGs Award 2025

In a world increasingly threatened by digital shadows, one local visionary from Nalgonda is stepping into the spotlight for his groundbreaking efforts to illuminate the dangers of cybercrime. Adoni Venkat Ramana Rao, a dedicated resident and tech enthusiast, has been shortlisted as nominee number 15 for the 2025 People’s Choice SDGs Award, recognizing his innovative project, Cyber Crime Awareness, organized under the banner of Sri Datta Infotech Consultants (SDIC).
The People’s Choice SDGs Award, a global celebration of sustainable peace and development, honors individuals and organizations driving real change toward the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With voting underway from September 16 to October 5, 2025, Rao’s nomination highlights how grassroots initiatives can fortify communities against the invisible perils of the digital age—aligning directly with SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
Rao’s project tackles the escalating crisis of cyber crime head-on, educating communities on what it entails and how to combat it. “Cyber crime is criminal activity that either targets or uses a computer, a computer network, or a networked device,” explains the project’s core description. “Most cyber crime is committed by cyber criminals or hackers who want to make money.” From email and internet fraud to identity theft—where personal information is stolen and misused—and ransomware attacks that hold data hostage for extortion, Rao’s initiative breaks down these threats into digestible insights.
The project delves deeper, categorizing cyber crimes into two main buckets: those that weaponize computers with viruses and malware, and those that exploit technology to enable other offenses. Through workshops, online campaigns, and community outreach led by SDIC, Rao aims to empower everyday users— from students to seniors—with the knowledge to stay safe online. “In an era where our lives are intertwined with the internet, awareness is our strongest shield,” Rao shared in a recent statement. “This isn’t just about technology; it’s about building a safer, more equitable digital world for generations to come.”
Hailing from Nalgonda, a district where rapid digital adoption has outpaced cyber security education, Rao’s work resonates deeply. SDIC, a consultancy firm specializing in IT solutions and training, has amplified the project’s reach across Telangana and beyond, partnering with local schools and businesses to host awareness sessions. Early impacts include over 500 participants trained in basic cyber hygiene, with feedback praising the program’s practical, no-jargon approach.
The nomination arrives at a critical juncture, as global cyber threats surge—ransomware incidents alone rose by 93% in 2024, according to cyber security reports. By spotlighting Cyber Crime Awareness, the SDGs Award underscores how innovative, low-cost education can foster resilient societies, contributing to broader goals like reducing inequality (SDG 10) and promoting innovation (SDG 9). adoni is cyber crime , cyber security consultant and member of
With just two days left in the voting window, supporters worldwide are rallying behind Rao. “This is more than an award—it’s a call to action for collective vigilance,” said Dr. Priya Sharma, a cyber security expert and SDIC collaborator. “Adoni’s passion shows that change starts at home, one informed community at a time.”
