The student leaders in their respective classes will interact with cyber experts and resource persons about the dangers inherent in addiction to the social media, how it affects their studies, personal lives and how online games like 'Blue Whale Challenge' can be fatal. The student leaders will then communicate the expert advice to their classmates. The workshop would also aim to aware students about too much addiction to smart phones which may distract students from other curriculur and extra-curriculur activities.
