The Sahu community in Chhattisgarh has started a digital‑detox campaign aimed at encouraging families to spend quality time together away from screens.
The Sahu Samaj of Chhattisgarh announced a community‑wide digital‑detox initiative designed to bring family members back to the dining table without the distraction of smartphones and other gadgets.
Organisers plan a series of workshops in local community halls where participants will learn practical steps to limit screen time, such as setting device‑free zones during meals and scheduling regular ‘offline evenings.’ Printed guides and social‑media posts in regional languages will reinforce the message.
Community leaders say the move responds to growing concerns that excessive device use is eroding traditional family interactions. They hope the campaign will foster more face‑to‑face conversation, improve mental well‑being, and revive cultural practices that centre around shared meals.
