Modern Institute of Technology, Tikanpur, is a new educational institute which has well-equipped labs and a huge computer centre, with all the modern computing and Internet facilities. These facilities are made available to students for 24 hours. The Dean, Students’ Welfare Unit, of this Institute has been receiving complaints about students suffering from various kinds of aches and pains: headaches, lower back pain, especially of coccyx (tailbone), neck pain, along with watering of eyes and weakness, i.e., debility. Preliminary reports suggest the reasons to be prolonged sitting in front of the computers, missing of meals and eating junk food at odd hours. A disturbing news has caused greater concern at the academic level: students are using the Internet facilities for non-academic purposes like ‘chatting’, viewing movies, listening to music, etc. All this has led to significant behavioural changes in many students not conducive to their growth, progress, and development. Assuming yourself to be the Chief Warden of this residential Institute, write a memo report to be submitted to the Dean, Student Welfare Division. Your report should include findings and recommendations.
