The Khaitan School, Noida organised an engaging and thought-provoking Digital Wellness Workshop to help students understand the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with technology and developing mindful screen habits.
The workshop featured two distinguished resource persons, Mr. Sameer Khanna, Physics Faculty at Allen Career Institute with 10 years of teaching experience, and Dr. Gaurav Chauhan, a Ph.D. in Adolescent Psychology and alumnus of Delhi University and SSJU. Dr. Chauhan is an experienced counsellor specialising in student mental health, stress management and crisis support.
The session focused on the growing importance of digital wellness and healthy screen-time habits among students. Through an interactive discussion, students were encouraged to reflect on their everyday technology use and understand how excessive screen engagement can affect their routines, concentration and overall well-being.
The speakers highlighted the importance of limiting screen usage, taking regular digital breaks and consciously creating time for offline activities. Students were encouraged to engage in physical activities and hobbies, spend quality time with family and friends, and make space for meaningful real-world interactions.
The workshop also included deep-breathing activities and simple relaxation exercises designed to help students calm their minds, improve concentration and experience the benefits of taking mindful breaks from screens.
These practical activities helped students understand that stepping away from devices does not simply mean reducing screen time—it can also create opportunities to recharge, reconnect and return to tasks with greater focus.
The interactive nature of the workshop encouraged students to examine their own screen habits and digital routines. They were guided to consider simple, practical ways of creating a healthier balance between technology and other important aspects of life.
The session reinforced the idea that technology is an important part of modern life, but maintaining balance is equally essential. Students were encouraged to make conscious choices about how they spend their time, prioritising physical activity, hobbies, relationships, relaxation and face-to-face experiences alongside their digital activities.
The workshop was informative, engaging and thought-provoking, leaving students with a powerful message that captured the essence of the session:
“Detach from screens to attach with life.”
Through initiatives such as this Digital Wellness Workshop, The Khaitan School, Noida continues to create awareness around important aspects of student well-being, helping young learners develop mindful habits and make balanced choices in an increasingly digital world.
