The education sector, specifically after COVID-19 has made everyone depend on the internet and usage of various devices that cater to this sector. Not only teenagers and adults but also the younger ones, studying in school.
In true light, it is not their fault to begin with. The regular online classes, homework on groups via WhatsApp, and the need to use the internet for information have made it customary to incorporate such devices and their facilities in their daily lives.
On continuing such habits, it can lead to the following consequences:
Health Issues: It involves both physical and mental health. Children stay indoors and are busy with these electronic devices which prevents them from going out and doing more physical activities. This can lead to posture problems, and eye strains due to eye strain. This can also lead to anxiety, depression, and various other issues.
Social Issues: Children can struggle with having social conversations, building relationships, and having one-on-one conversations with people.
Academic Issues: Mobile phones can be distractive and addictive. It can lead to an effect on the study schedules and problems in concentrating while doing homework and not being able to focus.
To curb these consequences, one can set rules and limits on the usage of phones. Focus on indoor as well as outdoor activities. Make the phone time more meaningful by viewing more educational content. These can surely help children to have a balance in their lives.

The Scam of Students: NEET 2024
The NEET Scam of 2024 raises the most neglected factors which are present in our country. From NEET exam,we generally expect that aspirants will have a fair and equal chance to get admissions in top notch institutes of India but NEET 2024 raises several ethical concerns or as I can say issues.
The issues are:
1. Equality: Those who can afford to cheat exam or buy examiners,centres or equipments are scoring high score which were not able to score in last 5-6 years. There was a time in 2016 where an aspirant (General category) with a score of 650 was securing a seat in Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Medical College (MAMC) but nowadays an aspirant needs around 690-700 for admission in MAMC through general category. So,you can see the difference in 8 years.
2. Corruption and Bribery: This is one thing that can not be completely eradicated in any means. It will stay forever. There will be someone present in the sector where who will take bribery for exam,answer sheet,etc.
3. Impact on Mental Health: The genuine students who prepare for the exam are exploited. It takes toll on the mental state of the students. Sometimes, they take a step which completely destroys them and their family.
But what are the steps or ideas which can be taken to stop this all nonsense?
From my side,there are some measures which can be taken for consideration to stop this nonsense:
1. Upgrade Surveillance System
2. Stricter punishment of malpractice
3. Awareness campaigns for students about punishments for cheating
4. Proper admission criteria
5. Complete transparency in cutoffs and admission process
6. Counselling and psychological support for the students
Now what should we do so that genuine students do not suffer?
We can do this:
1. Providing complete resources for underprivileged students
2. Increase the financial aid and scholarships for the students
3. Complete investigation of the complaints
4. Timely answer them and give them the preference for allocation of seats
I don’t know if there will be any change in the coming time regarding this in our country about this issue but I certainly hope so there will be a time when the entire system will be changed and our future aspirants will get a proper and fair chance for their future because if they succeed in their life then our nation will succeed in the world.
Thank you for reading this. I hope you have a great day.
