Dr Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairman of AICTE said: “The digital invasion in the lives of students is impacting their attention spans and slicing, dicing and tossing their minds in the cauldron of social media. It is not only impacting their attention spans, rather their entire endocrinal system and in turn their emotional and physical health are undergoing change. We have approved YourOneLife for introduction in the Indian academics, thanks to the NEP. Interestingly, the app that is also another ‘digital intervention’, counters the ‘digital invasion’. It monitors and calibrates the mind share, mindmap and happiness index of all the students.”
