Welcome to Healthwise by Tarang, a podcast channel brought to you by Tarang Health Alliance, founded by Dr Rahul Mehra, India’s Representative to the UNESCO Global Chair for Health & Education. At the heart of our mission is the advocacy for mandatory health education as an integral part of the school curriculum across India. Through this podcast, we delve into a range of critical topics surrounding health, lifestyle, and well-being. Tune in as we bring expert insights, discuss pressing health issues, and explore how education can play a pivotal role in shaping a healthier future for all.
In today’s episode, we’re taking up a subject that concerns parents, educators, and policymakers alike — ‘From Screen Time to Screen Intelligence: Raising Digitally Responsible Students.’
As digital devices become deeply embedded in children’s everyday lives, the focus is gradually shifting from merely limiting screen time to understanding how children engage with screens — consciously, safely, and meaningfully.
To guide us through this important conversation, we are honoured to be joined by Dr. Rahul Mehra, a leading voice in global health and education. Dr. Mehra is the Indian representative to UNESCO in the area of Global Health and Education and serves as the Executive Chairman of the Tarang Health Alliance. With decades of experience in medical research and public health leadership, he brings valuable insights into how digital behaviour impacts children’s health and development.
