This rising ubiquity and usage > has impacted the time and attention people pay to their relationships, in > families, and among friends. There has been a growing concern about the > unintended side effects of using these devices extensively everyday on > students and family relations. > Earlier in 2019 during an interaction with parents, PM Modi responded to a > mother worried about the time her son spent on games on his phone very > clearly, saying “Technology has two sides. Like everything else, technology, > too, comes with its positives and negatives. As parents, we must guide our > children to get the most from technology” > With similar goals, Liquid Works, a stakeholder and community engagement > firm, conceptualized a country wide initiative called ‘Digi-अभ्यास’ that is > aimed at ‘Empowering digital citizens to effectively navigate a technology > immersive society by helping them develop a balance between life, their > relationships and technology.’ > Liquid Works in association with other organizations and mental health > experts have formed a consortium to bring awareness among children, parents, > schoolteachers, counsellors and adults on tools, techniques to develop a > balance between their use of technology and maintaining healthy > relationships. The curriculum for the workshops will be developed by experts > from the field of cyber citizenship, cyber security, reputed mental health > professionals and vetted by NCERT faculty. > The idea is to generate awareness about the concept of Digital Wellbeing > while focusing on how to develop a positive and healthy relationship with > technology by leveraging it to nurture relationships, improve productivity, > foster learning and contribute to a holistic life rather than distract from > it. > The Digi-अभ्यास program is supported by Google India. Google has keenly > invested in this initiative since there is a strong synergy between the > objective of Digi-अभ्यास and their flagship global program on Digital > Wellness. > Methodology > The Digi-अभ्यास program will follow a cascading ‘train-the-trainer’ learning > model where teachers and counselors will be trained with the relevant > knowledge to help them guide students in navigating a technology immersive > society. The trainers cultivated via this model will also conduct orientation > sessions with students and parents, outside of their schools, to help them > strike a balance between life and technology. Expert trainers and mental > health professionals will be present to co-facilitate teachers in conducting > the orientation sessions with students and parents. > > Outreach Partnerships > The outreach will be through partnerships with Central Board of Secondary > Education (CBSE), National Council of Educational Research and Training > (NCERT), State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Kendriya > Vidyalaya Sangathan and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. > Consortium Partners > The Digi-अभ्यास program shall be rolled out by the following consortium of > organizations, supported by industry players such as Google.
