Today, with the proliferation of internet and digital media for education and entertainment and smart devices such as tablets replacing traditional toys at home, children are exposed to the digital world from a very early stage. However, modern family structure ( nuclear families, both working parents ) and work demands means that this access at home remains largely unregulated & unsupervised, which exposes kids to various online risks such as internet and gaming addiction, cyber bullying, pornography, sexting etc. These risks then negatively impact children in various ways such as health ( eyesight, obesity, insomnia ), social ( isolation, rejection of family norms ) and behavioral ( anxiety, depression, information overload ).
With eKAVACH apps, parents can remotely manage and control internet time, web content and applications in a real-time and dynamic manner and ensure complete internet safety for their children. The apps are available free to download from playstore. Kavach in Indian language means a shield.
