Srinagar: In a major step towards addressing digital addiction among children, the Amar Singh Club, Srinagar, has launched a science-based community intervention titled “The Cashmere Recuperation.” The initiative aims to shield children from the harmful effects of digital overconsumption and encourage them towards healthy, enriching use of technology through various competitions and activities.

The program, announced during the club’s fifth session of ‘Common Interest Conversations’ on digital addiction, includes public speaking, painting, chess, physical challenges, and performing arts, among other segments. Participants are categorized into five age groups, starting from 3 years to 25 years, and a special segment has been introduced for neurodivergent children. Winners will receive substantial cash prizes, trophies, and certificates, with the public speaking champion earning the title of “Techno-Sentient Prince or Princess of Cashmere.” Notably, if a girl wins the challenge, her cash prize will be doubled.

Nasir Hamid Khan, Secretary of the Amar Singh Club, stated that the previous sessions of the discussions focused on understanding the negative impacts of digital overconsumption, particularly on children. He emphasized that the overuse of digital devices has led to anger management issues, anxiety, depression, and moral confusion among young minds. The discussions highlighted the urgent need to reconnect children with real-world experiences and equip them to face life’s challenges with confidence.

The event was presided over by Mohammed Ashraf Mir, with participation from several prominent figures, including Mohammad Amin Kathwari, M Afzal Abdullah, Akib Chaya, Sheikh Manzoor, Manzoor Pakhtoon, Babur Chowdhary, Ashfaq Siddique Dug, Dr Tariq Trumboo, and Dr Raja Muzzafer Bhat. The session also acknowledged contributions from experts like Dr Sushil Razdan, Dr Kaiser Ahmad, and Prof Shakil A Romshoo, who had shared their insights in earlier discussions on digital addiction.

Khan stressed that real change must begin at the societal level, urging families to re-evaluate their lifestyles and parenting approaches. He highlighted the importance of teaching children resilience, decision-making, and the ability to confront challenges head-on.

Participants welcomed The Cashmere Recuperation as a much-needed intervention and pledged their support to the initiative. The program is set to be a significant step towards helping Kashmir’s children strike a healthy balance between digital engagement and real-life experiences.
