Abstract The present study examined the effectiveness of a structured 21-day intervention programme integrating yoga, physical activity, mindfulness practices, recreational participation, social engagement, and digital detox activities among women students in higher education institutions. A mixed-method research design using pre-test and post-test analysis was adopted. A purposive sample of 100 women students participated in the intervention programme. Standardised tools such as the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), Physical Health Assessment Scale, and Digital Behaviour Assessment Schedule were used for data collection. The findings revealed substantial reductions in depression, anxiety, stress, screen time, and social media dependency after the intervention programme. Improvements were also observed in posture, physical fitness, energy level, and healthier digital behaviour among participants. The study concludes that structured wellness-oriented intervention programmes can effectively reduce the adverse effects of excessive online engagement and promote holistic well-being among women students. This study is part of the 2024-25 minor project, funded by the ICSSR.
