Background: In our nation, technology plays a major role in everyday life by making it easier and faster to do tasks. One of the greatest gifts of modern technology is the smartphone, which simplifies life on many levels. People are enjoying the phone's many features, services, and internet; teenagers are also taking advantage of these features for pleasure. When we consider all of the benefits of mobile phones, there is one little-known fact that should be noted: when we use these devices excessively, we become dependent on them and become addicted to them. One little-known reality about mobile phones that should be mentioned when we weigh all of their advantages is that excessive use of these gadgets can lead to dependency and addiction.


Need of the study : This study examines the current state of knowledge about a condition that is highly prevalent in the youngest population and is a result of the rapid technological advancements that have occurred in modern society. It demonstrates that people in today's culture are terrified of losing the tools and technological resources necessary to carry out fundamental tasks like connecting, conversing, having fun, and obtaining knowledge, in addition to being addicted to the Internet, video games, and technology in general. Anxiety, reliance on social media, and internet use are all strongly correlated with nomophobia.


Methodology: A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design with a quantitative research approach was used. The assessable population is students having nomophobia at selected educational institutes in a selected area. 60 samples were taken by non-probability convenient sampling techniques. They were divided into two groups: 30 into the control group and 30 into the experimental group. Descriptive inferential statistics were used to analyse the data.


Result: in pre test adolescents of educational institutes of selected area had 40% moderate


nomophobia, and 60% severe nomophobia but in post-test adolescents have 40% mild


nomophobia, 60% moderate nomophobia. So its shows that after intervention, the experimental
