Economic Survey 2025–26 Warns Of Rising Digital Addiction Among Children And Youth | ON POINT

Описание: The Economic Survey 2025–26 has highlighted digital addiction as a major public health and mental health concern in India, particularly among children and youth. With internet access nearly universal, excessive screen time, gaming, social media overuse, and compulsive scrolling are linked to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and academic or work impairment. The Survey recommends preventive measures including age-based access controls, digital wellness curricula in schools, parental training, community interventions, mental health support via Tele-MANAS, and network- or device-level safeguards. Experts stress education and behavioural health interventions rather than bans, while actor Sonu Sood has appealed to PM Modi to ban social media for children under 16 as a national movement.
