Karnataka proposes banning phones and social media for students under 16 to protect mental health and academics.
The Karnataka government is considering a ban on mobile phones and social media for students under 16, citing concerns over addiction, mental health, academic performance, and exposure to harmful content.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced the proposal, seeking input from university leaders, while noting international precedents like Australia’s youth social media restrictions.
The move aims to protect minors, though some officials question its feasibility, especially in private schools that rely on phones for education.
The policy remains under review.
