Delhi-NCR is enduring a record-breaking summer, with temperatures hitting 46.3°C and “feels-like” indexes soaring to 52°C due to extreme humidity and air stagnation [TOI, 2025]. But beyond the numbers, it’s our children who are paying the price. Schools are closed, vacations are confined indoors, and outdoor play has vanished.
📉 Heat Stress + Screen Time = A Silent Health Crisis
The heatwave is taking a toll on our kids’ health and well-being:
Heat-Related Illnesses: Children are highly vulnerable to heat exhaustion, dehydration, and sunburn. Delhi hospitals report a 25–30% spike in pediatric heat-related OPD visits in May 2025 [AIIMS Data].
Trapped Indoors: With the outdoors unbearable, kids are spending 6–8 hours daily on screens, up from 3–4 hours during non-school periods.
Eyes Under Attack: The All India Ophthalmological Society notes that 1 in 4 urban Indian children now shows signs of myopia, projected to rise to 1 in 2 by 2050 if screen time isn’t curbed.
Mental Health Concerns: Excessive screen time is linked to poor sleep, reduced focus, irritability, and increased anxiety in children under 15.
🌳 At Sportsland, Summer Still Feels Like Childhood
While Delhi sizzles, Sportsland Activity Farms offers a natural escape, staying 4–7°C cooler thanks to its forested land, soft grass, and clean, flowing breezes. Here, children can rediscover the joy of summer:
Run. Climb. Laugh. Play.
Learn to connect with animals, soil, water, and fresh air.
Sleep better, eat better, and forget what a tablet screen looks like.
It’s the childhood summer they were meant to have — not stuck behind curtains in an air-conditioned room, but barefoot in the mud, under the trees.
🌿 A Smarter, Healthier Way to Cool Down
Air Conditioners: Dry out skin and airways, and contribute to overheating cities through Urban Heat Islands.
Clay Pot Water: Naturally cools to a refreshing 14–16°C, retains essential minerals, aids digestion, and is gentle on the body — just like our grandparents trusted.
🌟 This Summer, Give Them the Childhood They Deserve
Swap screen time for green time. Let your kids play where the air is fresh, the earth is soft, and the sky still matters.
Let them be wild. Let them be well. Welcome to Sportsland.
