Due to internet exposure children are getting trapped into cyber bullying, cybercrime etc. Screen time has increased which has affected the mental and physical health of the students. Nobody can have an actual school-like infrastructure at home which affects a lot in understanding concepts instead of mugging them up, she opined.
