In an era dominated by constant notifications, endless scrolling and shrinking attention spans, meaningful conversations have never been more important. Recognizing the need to create space for dialogue, debate and critical thinking among the youth, The Hindu is bringing its flagship youth engagement platform – The Hindu Huddle on Campus – to Khaja Bandanawaz University, Kalaburagi on 26 May.

A precursor to The Hindu Huddle, The Hindu’s acclaimed conclave of thought leaders, the ‘Huddle on Campus’ series is designed to engage young minds through powerful discussions on issues shaping society, education, politics, technology and mental health.

The upcoming edition at Khaja Bandanawaz University will focus on a timely and relevant topic: “The Age of Distraction and Doomscrolling: Its Impact on Student Behavior and Mental Health”.

The goal of the session is to create an open floor for students to think about how digital overload, social media addiction, and a culture of constant consumption affect attention spans, emotional well-being, productivity, and social interactions. The event will bring together practitioners, thought leaders, academics and students for an engaging exchange of ideas and perspectives.

The talks will also serve as a gateway to The Hindu Huddle, a two-day conclave scheduled for June 5 and 6 in Bengaluru. Outstanding and highly engaging students from the campus edition will get an opportunity to showcase their ideas, perspectives and talent on the main Huddle platform alongside some of the top thinkers, policy makers and industry leaders of the country.

The initiative is presented by Sami-Sabinsa Group as a presenting partner. The event is conducted by the Government of Telangana and is being held in association with Khaja Bandanawaz University.

The event is further supported by: Larsen & Toubro – associate partner; Apollo Hospitals – Associate Partner; IIM Sirmaur – Associate Partner; TAFE – Associate Partner; Wizzmoni – Affiliate Partner; Casagrand – real estate partner; Amity University Bengaluru – Partner University; Harrow International School Bengaluru – Education Partner; Meghalaya Tourism – State Partner; NDTV 24×7 – TV Partner
