To maintain balance, promote responsible gaming and digital well-being we are launching Beyond Screens, India’s first industry-led Digital Detox Centre, in partnership with the All India Gaming Federation @AIGFofficial. This initiative, under the Department of IT/BT Karnataka @ITBTGoK, is our crucial step towards addressing digital addiction through structured interventions, education and long-term wellness solutions. As #Karnataka pushes forward to become India’s hub for #AVGGC_XR, and lead the digital economy into new frontiers we are equally mindful of its flipside: being constantly connected, glued to screens, and battling digital overload. #BeyondScreens will serve as a resource hub to support individuals in achieving healthier digital habits while integrating digital detox programs into mainstream healthcare. While Karnataka is leading the way in digital innovation, with this step, we are ensuring that progress doesn’t come at the cost of well-being. For more details visit: beyondscreens.net

Developed in collaboration with 𝗣𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗶 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗿. 𝗕𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗼𝘆, Former Chairperson of the National Statistical Commission, Government of India and Former Director of the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, The Dialogue’s new framework uses a scientific, data-driven approach to assess the role of skill in online games. It fills a critical gap by providing an objective mechanism for regulators, developers, and the judiciary to distinguish between skill and chance-based games—moving beyond subjective interpretations and court rulings. Using real-world data and advanced statistical tools like the Chi-Square and Pearson Correlation tests, this framework offers consistency and accuracy across game formats. Dr. Bimal Roy highlighted the importance of this initiative, stating, "𝙄𝙣 𝙖 𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙, 𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡.

The framework is designed to be adaptable and interoperable, aligning with international best practices, ensuring India’s regulatory landscape remains competitive on a global scale. This initiative represents a big step forward in creating a fair, transparent, and skill-based gaming environment for all stakeholders—players, developers, and regulators alike. ➡ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: thedialogue.co/publication/an… {𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝘋𝘳.
