India Addresses Digital Addiction and NCDs

India Addresses Digital Addiction and NCDs

The Indian government is worried about two big problems: too many people are getting sick from things like obesity and diabetes, and young people are spending too much time on their phones and social media.

This is making them anxious, sad, and not doing well in school.

The government is looking at ways to help, like setting rules for screen time and teaching people about healthy habits.

They are also studying what other countries are doing to solve these problems.

The goal is to keep everyone healthy and happy while still using technology in a good way.
