Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday encouraged the students to believe in their strengths and use electronic gadgets wisely and smartly. “People in India spend an average of six hours on screen. This is a matter of concern. Why be a slave of gadgets when God has given us an independent existence and individuality with immense potential?” PM Modi said during the sixth edition of the ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ programme in the national capital. He further said that the average six-hour screen time for gadget users in our country is “meaningless” that benefits only the makers. “There is an average of six hours of screen time for a gadget user in our country now. This certainly reflects the amount of time and energy any person drains out meaninglessly and without productivity. This a matter of deep concern and a threat to the creativity of the people,” PM Modi said adding that any person would feel “bliss” once he or she frees the self from the clutches of the misuse of technology.
