In an era dominated by constant notifications, endless scrolling, and shrinking attention spans, meaningful conversations have never been more important. Recognising the need to create spaces for dialogue, debate, and critical thinking among the youth, The Hindu is bringing its flagship youth engagement platform — The Hindu Huddle on Campus — to Amity University, Bengaluru on June 3.

As a precursor to The Hindu Huddle, the acclaimed thought leadership conclave of The Hindu, 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 Amity University will focus on the timely and relevant theme: “Do platforms like Instagram and TikTok harm students’ mental health more than they help?”

The session aims to create an open floor for students to reflect on how platforms such as Instagram and TikTok influence self-esteem, emotional well-being, social interactions, productivity, and overall mental health, while also examining the opportunities they create for learning, creativity, and community building. The event will bring together students for an engaging exchange of ideas and perspectives.

The conversations at Huddle on Campus will also serve as a gateway to the flagship two-day The Hindu Huddle conclave scheduled to take place in Bengaluru on June 5 and 6. Outstanding and highly engaging students from the campus edition will get an opportunity to showcase their ideas, perspectives, and talent at the main Huddle platform alongside some of the country’s leading thinkers, policymakers, and industry leaders.

The initiative is presented by Sami-Sabinsa Group as the Presenting Partner. The event is co-powered by the Government of Telangana, and being held in association with Khaja Bandanawaz University.

The event is further supported by:
