Govt school teachers in Siddipet help children go for digital detox

Ever since the advent of smartphones, mobile addiction among children has turned into a worrying aspect for most parents.

From days when summer vacations saw children playing under mango trees, near temple ponds and in the local playgrounds, most children these days spend time staring into their mobile phones or tablets, playing online games or watching YouTube games and watching Instagram reels. And as schools reopen too, many still are not able to focus on their books with the mobile phone being



a major distraction.
