Abstract

In the contemporary global society, the internet has become a requisite element, reshaping human interaction and education. While offering benefits like e-learning and academic research, its unrestricted access can lead to "Internet Addiction" (IA), particularly among adolescents. This study investigates the prevalence of IA among higher secondary students in the Imphal West District of Manipur, a region experiencing rapid digitalization alongside digital instability. The research aims to identify overall addiction levels and compare them across gender, academic streams, and school types. Findings indicate that while a majority of students fall into the mild category, a significant portion experiences moderate addiction, highlighting a growing public health and socio-educational challenge in the region.
