A very informative and educative counselling session was conducted on 28.04.2023, by Dr. Basudeb Das and his team members from the Central Institute of Psychiatry on the theme `logged-in or locked-in into the digital world of smartphones and social media`.
The whirlpool of social media is engulfing the students in silence. A challenge of how to live in and live with smartphones and how much is too much for them. Such topics were explained in a detailed manner. The transition of a habit to addiction is very quick and it closes all the windows of the real world therefore the need of the hour is to detoxify ourselves and lead a healthy life. They highlighted the role and importance of social media in our lives and also made them aware about the risk factor and problems which children of age group 14-17 years are facing because they are using it excessively.
The queries of students were also answered and solutions to the above mentioned problems were given. Principal Dr. Neeta Pandey also attended the session and thanked the Chief guest Dr. Basudeb Das and his team members for enlightening the students on such an important topic as they are the ones who are mostly addicted to social media and smartphones.
