According to 2010 survey of ASSOCHAM (Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry), urban children (aged 6-17) are spending an average of five hours per day watching television.
The survey covered major Indian cities in which 52 percent of children had a television in their own rooms.
The survey warned that excessive television viewing prompts aggressive, anti-social behaviour, obesity and a host of psychological problems in children. With 66 percent of households countrywide owning television sets, parents need to make telly viewing informative and productive.
