Nurturing Values in a Technology-Driven World
Technology can shape the future, but parents shape the character of the next generation DR. TAWSEEF A MIR The world today is changing at a speed never witnessed before. Technology has entered every sphere of life, from education and communication to entertainment and business. Smartphones, social media, artificial intelligence and online platforms have transformed society into what is often called the digital era. While this transformation has brought remarkable opportunities, it has also created serious challenges, especially for children and teenagers. In such circumstances, the role of parents has become more important than ever before. Parents are the first teachers and guides of a child. In the digital age, their responsibility is not only to provide food, shelter and education, but also to protect children from the harmful effects of uncontrolled technology while helping them benefit from its positive side. The future of society greatly depends on how wisely parents handle this responsibility. One of the biggest challenges of the digital era is excessive screen time. Many children spend hours using mobile phones, watching videos, playing online games or scrolling through social media. As a result, they often become disconnected from real-life interactions, physical activities and studies. Parents must therefore establish healthy boundaries regarding the use of gadgets. Limiting screen time and encouraging outdoor games, reading habits and family conversations can help children maintain a balanced lifestyle. Another major responsibility of parents is monitoring online content. The Internet is filled with both useful and harmful material. Children can easily access inappropriate websites, violent content, fake information or unhealthy trends. Without guidance, young minds may become confused or negatively influenced. Parents should remain aware of what their children watch, read and share online. Instead of adopting a harsh or controlling attitude, they should create an atmosphere of trust where children feel comfortable discussing their online experiences openly. Cyberbullying has also emerged as a serious concern in the digital world. Many children suffer silently from online harassment, insults or social pressure on digital platforms. Such experiences can deeply affect mental health and self-confidence. Parents must pay attention to sudden behavioural changes in their children, such as isolation, anxiety, anger or sadness. Open communication within the family is essential so children know they can seek support whenever they face difficulties online. Moreover, parents today must teach digital ethics and responsibility. Technology itself is neither good nor bad; its impact depends on how it is used. Children should learn values such as honesty, kindness, respect and discipline while interacting online. Spreading rumours, insulting others or misusing social media should never be normalised. Parents should teach children that digital actions have real-life consequences. A responsible digital citizen is one who uses technology wisely and respectfully. Education in the digital era has also changed significantly. Online classes, digital learning platforms and educational videos have made learning more accessible than ever. However, easy access to information does not automatically guarantee true learning. Students often become dependent on shortcuts and lose the habit of critical thinking. Parents should motivate children to use technology as a tool for gaining knowledge rather than mere entertainment. Encouraging curiosity, creativity and independent thinking is essential for intellectual growth. Another important duty of parents is to set a personal example. Children learn more from observation than from instructions. If parents themselves remain addicted to mobile phones, ignore family conversations or spend excessive time online, children are likely to imitate the same behavior. Responsible parenting, therefore, requires self-discipline as well. Family meals without phones, meaningful discussions and spending quality time together can strengthen emotional bonds and reduce digital dependency. The digital era has also affected moral and emotional development. Modern culture often promotes instant pleasure, materialism and unrealistic lifestyles through social media. Young people may compare themselves with others and develop feelings of inferiority or dissatisfaction. Parents should help children understand the difference between virtual appearances and real life. Teaching gratitude, patience, humility and self-worth is necessary to protect them from emotional instability and social pressure. In addition, parents should encourage children to develop practical life skills. Technology can simplify many tasks, but dependence on digital tools may reduce creativity, communication abilities and problem-solving skills. Activities such as reading books, participating in sports, helping with household work and engaging in social service help children become confident and responsible individuals. Religious and cultural values also play an important role in guiding children through the digital age. Parents should ensure that technological advancement does not weaken moral principles and family traditions. A child who grows up with strong values is more likely to make wise decisions even when exposed to negative influences online. At the same time, parents must avoid becoming overly strict or authoritarian. Completely banning technology is neither practical nor beneficial in todays world. Instead, the goal should be balanced usage. Technology is an essential part of modern education and future careers. Parents should therefore guide children toward productive use of digital resources while minimising risks. Finally, parenting in the digital era requires awareness, patience and continuous learning. Since technology evolves rapidly, parents themselves must stay informed about new apps, online trends and digital challenges affecting young people. An informed parent is better equipped to protect and guide children in a changing world. The digital era has brought both opportunities and dangers. While technology has made life easier and education more accessible, it has also exposed children to distractions, misinformation and emotional risks. Therefore, the responsibilities of parents today are far greater than before. They must become mentors, protectors and role models who guide children towards a balanced and responsible use of technology. Strong families, open communication, moral values and wise parenting are the keys to raising a healthy generation in the digital age.

Infrastructure in NCR has never merely connected locations; it has consistently reshaped real estate trajectories. Big ticket developments like the DelhiDehradun Expressway are beginning to do the same, but with a more distinct shift in direction. As improved connectivity brings Dehradun within closer reach, the conversation is moving toward where and how people choose to live, and which projects are best placed to respond to that shift. How the DelhiDehradun Expressway is Redefining Real Estate Opportunities With travel time set to reduce from nearly 67 hours to approximately 2.5 hours, Dehradun is no longer positioned as a distant retreat. Instead, it is rapidly transitioning into a viable residential extension of NCR. This structural shift is influencing not just accessibility, but also buyer intent, moving from occasional visits to more sustained and frequent usage of homes in the region. Moreover, this evolving demand dynamic is already beginning to reflect in market indicators. A Magicbricks report highlighted that housing demand across hill destinations grew by 8.2% year-on-year during JulySeptember 2025. Within this, Dehradun recorded one of the sharpest price appreciations at 30.9%, underscoring renewed interest in premium second-home and lifestyle-driven residential markets. However, the opportunity along this corridor is not uniform. As with any emerging market, value creation is concentrated in projects that are thoughtfully positioned where location, planning, and product differentiation align with evolving buyer expectations. It is within this context that developments like Excentia Tatva begin to stand out. Located on Rajpur Road, arguably one of Dehraduns most established and premium residential corridors, Excentia Tatva responds directly to this shift in demand. Unlike high-density developments that rely on scale, the project adopts a consciously low-density approach, catering to a segment where exclusivity, space, and long-term liveability are key decision drivers. What distinguishes the development in the current market is not just its location, but how it translates infrastructure-led growth into tangible living value. As connectivity improves, buyers are no longer evaluating second homes purely as investment assets; they are increasingly seeking environments that can function as true extensions of their primary residence. Excentia Tatva aligns closely with this evolving preference. Its planning integrates natural and cultural context into the living experience, anchored around a preserved 200-year-old tree courtyard and situated in proximity to spiritual landmarks such as Maa Anandmayee Ashram and Shri Aurobindo Ashram. This contextual integration adds a layer of depth that goes beyond conventional residential offerings. At the same time, the project reflects a growing emphasis on sustainability and long-term liveability. As one of the early IGBC pre-certified gold-rated residential developments in Dehradun, it incorporates design principles focused on natural light, ventilation, and open green spaces; factors that are increasingly central to buyer decision-making, especially in low AQI environments. Besides, today, buyers are not looking for standalone apartments, but for self-sustained ecosystems that can support extended stays. Excentia Tatvas ecosystem of amenities, from a five-star clubhouse and rooftop terraces to an infinity pool and wellness-focused facilities, positions itself as a more self-contained residential environment. In a market that is transitioning from tourism-led to residential-led demand, such features become critical in sustaining both user interest and investment value. The opportunity along the DelhiDehradun corridor is not just about improved access; it is about how certain projects are positioned to benefit from that shift. In a market that is still in a phase of value discovery, developments that are differentiated by design, density, and location are better placed to create long-term value. Excentia Tatva reflects this approach by focusing on a segment where supply remains limited, but demand is becoming increasingly defined , said Manit Sethi, Director, Excentia Tatva . A growing segment of NCR-based professionals and entrepreneurs is now actively seeking alternatives to high-density urban livingprioritising space, privacy, and a stronger connection to nature, without compromising on quality and convenience. Excentia Tatvas low-density planning and its location within an established, well-connected micro-market allow it to directly cater to this demand. As a result, it is increasingly being viewed not just as a second-home investment, but as a flexible residential option that can adapt to changing lifestyle needs. What we are witnessing is a structural shift in how second homes are perceived. They are no longer occasional-use assets, but extensions of everyday living. Projects that can deliver both experiential value and functional liveability are far better positioned to see sustained demand. The focus is clearly moving toward environments that offer cleaner air, lower density, and a more balanced way of living , added Aniket Sethi, Director, Excentia Tatva . As the DelhiDehradun Expressway continues to enhance regional connectivity, its real impact will unfold through the performance of projects that are able to translate this advantage into long-term value. While the broader market will benefit from improved access, it is developments with strong fundamentals that are likely to lead this next phase of growth. Amidst this, Excentia Tatva represents how infrastructure-led transformation is beginning to shape not just where people invest, but how they choose to live.
