Interestingly, it is noticed that the vast majority of the young generation are tech savvy and virtual centric. A survey conducted by me among 400 students aged 14 to 21 revealed that on an average 2 to 3 hours are spent on virtual platforms. Now it may be much more due to covid-19 pandemic.

Morass of bewildering messages, disturbing images and videos, wrong role models, not so transparent media and corrupt practices at every level stir up maelstrom of emotions in the young ultimately propel their minds to uncertainty and self-doubt.
