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.
