Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on the country's teaching community to take a more active role in tackling the growing concerns of excessive screen time and drug addiction among students. Addressing educators, the PM highlighted how the post-pandemic shift toward digital learning has deepened young people's dependence on screens, while substance abuse has emerged as a parallel crisis threatening student well-being. His remarks underscore a broader push to reposition teachers not just as knowledge providers but as frontline mentors capable of identifying and intervening in the behavioral challenges facing today's youth.
