Reconnect- Responsible Use of Internet and Screen The newest challenges for the millennial and their parents include controlling strong urge to use social media, gaming and safety from cybercrimes. Approximately, half of the teens and pre-teens in India's urban areas now own a mobile phone. As per one study, 21 percent of kids of age group 11 years or lesser are hooked on to mobile internet in India. Same study also found that a total of 58 per cent of this young generation is now willing to give up watching TV to browse internet on a mobile phone. This has necessitated a need to create an awareness among young children against the addictive potential of mobile phones. We decided to launch a project for a tenure of 2 years and aimed at students of class 6th, 7th & 8th, teachers and parents to bring in a sustainable change. Programs will ensure higher levels of awareness, time to develop and maintain new habits and availability of experts to seek help and guidance at regular intervals, if needed. Through this project, a lot of empirical data can be generated which can be used to test efficacy of project and to replicate the model elsewhere.As a part of this program, we developed a Manual of Training with the help of Institute for Psychological Health. This manual includes 18 modules for the Students, Teachers and Parents. It has been tested with online platform during the COVID-19 Pandemic in various schools. We are now working on making interactive Audio-Visuals with E-Learning platforms and intensively promulgating it in all the schools to scale it up.
