Siren Goes Off in Maharashtra Villages For Digital Detoxification

A siren goes up everyday at 7 pm in Mohite Vadgaon village in Sangli district of Maharashtra everyday. 

It’s not a prison break but break from digital disruptors. All mobiles are switched off in the village with a population of 3000.

Children open their books and study. Some children go for group studies too. All the houses across the village quietens down in a minute. 

It is time for digital detoxification for the whole village. Elders too chat in hushed voices. 

The ‘Project Siren’ was started in a Mohite Vadgaon but now five villages has adopted this practice.ation

“We are supporting and promoting this project. Several villages in this block too have evinced interest,” CEO of Sangli Zilla Parishad, Sangli, Mr. Jitendra Dudi said.
