Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has urged parents, especially mothers, to avoid giving smartphones to children below 18, warning about their impact on eyesight, mental focus, and overall development.

Drawing a parallel with substance abuse, the Chief Minister called for strict efforts to curb both drug use and smartphone addiction among the youth. He encouraged young people to use technology in moderation and stay more engaged with family and personal growth. Yogi Adityanath also shared a broader message on life, highlighting that success and failure go hand in hand, urging youth to stay resilient, learn from setbacks, and move forward with confidence and faith.
