The Maharashtra government has announced the formation of an expert task force to study the rising prevalence of digital addiction among children.
State IT Minister Adv. Ashish Shelar on Wednesday informed the Legislative Council that the committee will submit a comprehensive report with remedial
recommendations before the next session, which is likely to be held in June.
The announcement followed a calling attention motion raised by MLCs Niranjan Davkhare and Sanjay Kenekar, who highlighted the mental and physical health risks posed by unregulated screen time and social media usage.
