The First Agenda of Justice Janta Party: To protect children from excessive mobile phone and social media use and launch a nationwide movement demanding strict government policies and new legislation.
Today, many children in India are increasingly exposed to excessive mobile phone and social media use. Research has raised concerns about potential links between early smartphone access and issues such as depression, obesity, and inadequate sleep. Karnataka has proposed restrictions on social media use for children under 16, while the Supreme Court has also sought the Centre’s response regarding measures to protect minors from potential harms associated with social media.
Strict restrictions on mobile phone and social media use for children below 16 years of age
Mobile-free environments in schools
Mandatory parental controls and effective age verification
Stronger provisions under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
Consideration of a login curfew for minors after 6:00 PM
“Our children’s childhood is getting lost in mobile screens—India, it is time to wake up!”
Justice Janta Party will work to build public awareness and a nationwide movement on this issue and advocate for appropriate legislation and stronger child-protection measures in Parliament.
