“The Economic Survey 2025–26 flags digital addiction as a public health challenge with serious implications for India’s demographic dividend and long-term economic productivity.”
Critically examine the causes and consequences of digital addiction in India.
Discuss the policy and institutional measures suggested to balance digital growth with digital wellness.
Tips for your answer
- Frame it as a paradox – Start with “digital economy vs digital wellbeing” and link addiction directly to productivity loss and demographic dividend erosion.
- Balance critique with policy – Briefly cover causes and impacts, then pivot quickly to Survey-backed solutions (regulation, education, infra, Tele-MANAS).
- Use data selectively – Quote 1–2 hard numbers from the Survey (screen hours, youth vulnerability, digital economy share) to add authority without clutter.
