        abstract = {The rapid penetration of mobile phones has transformed communication, learning, and social interaction, especially among students. While mobile technology offers significant academic and social benefits, excessive use has given rise to behavioural issues commonly referred to as mobile phone addiction. The present study examines the prevalence of mobile phone addiction among students and analyses its relationship with gender and educational level. Primary data were collected from 670 students using a structured questionnaire based on a 10-item behavioural scale. The results reveal that more than seventy percent of students’ exhibit symptoms of mobile phone addiction. Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test indicates that mobile phone addiction is independent of gender but significantly associated with the educational level of students. The study highlights the growing concern of mobile phone addiction among young learners and emphasizes the need for awareness and educational interventions.},
