India's 2025-26 Economic Survey warns youth digital addiction is harming mental health and academics, urging schools, mental health support, and safer platforms.
The Indian government's 2025-26 Economic Survey warns of a rising digital addiction crisis among youth, linking excessive smartphone and social media use to anxiety, depression, poor sleep, declining academic performance, and cyberbullying.
With near-universal internet access among 15-29-year-olds, the report calls for holistic strategies including digital wellness education in schools, device-free times, expanded mental health support like the Tele-MANAS helpline and SHUT Clinic, and offline youth hubs.
It emphasizes the need for national data, stronger enforcement of existing guidelines, and age-appropriate platform safeguards to address compulsive use without restricting digital access.
