“Digital Wellness”

In today's digital era, cultivating awareness of Digital Wellness is vital for our technology-driven society. It safeguards both our mental and physical well-being and fosters a harmonious relationship between humanity and technology, ensuring a brighter and more balanced future. Digital Wellness emphasizes a healthy balance between online and offline life, promoting responsible screen time management, digital literacy, and ethical online conduct. By prioritizing Digital Wellness, we can also mitigate the adverse effects of technology, such as cyberbullying and addiction, and ensure that our digital experiences enhance our life rather than detract from it. Digital wellness has a significant impact on interpersonal relations and academic performance. It promotes healthy communication, prevents conflicts and enhances relationships. On the other hand it improves focus, encourages effective learning, and supports work-life balance, leading to better performance. As we navigate this ever-evolving digital landscape, embracing Digital Wellness becomes an essential pillar for a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable world.

Given the situation, it is clear that further education and awareness regarding digital wellness would significantly impact students, teachers and various stakeholders by improving their mental and physical health.
