NRIs Launch Weekend Classes to Address Cellphone Addiction Among Children in Punjab
Non-resident Indians (NRIs) have initiated free weekend classes in Kang Sabu village, Nakodar, to address cellphone addiction among children aged 6 to 18. The program encourages mindful technology use, limiting phones to educational purposes, and offers alternative activities like harmonium, tabla, and cultural lessons. This effort responds to concerns about excessive phone use and online gaming impacts, highlighted by a recent tragic case in Nawanshahr. The NRIs aim to protect youth from harmful influences and promote healthier habits.
