The siren signals people to put away their electronic gadgets for 1.5 hours to take a much-needed break from screen time. This mandatory practice aims at helping children redirect their focus from wasting their time on the internet and channeling their energy towards studies and encouraging adults to interact with the community or take up hobbies like reading.
“When physical [sic] classes resumed, teachers realised children had become lazy, did not want to read and write and were mostly engrossed in their mobile phones before and after the school hours,” the village Sarpanch told PTI.
“There weren’t separate study rooms in the homes of the villagers. So I put forth the idea of a digital detox,” he said.
