In 2025, parenting in urban India comes with a new kind of dilemma — not about gadgets, not about grades, but about play. The kind of free, unstructured, outdoor play that helped earlier generations grow physically, emotionally, and socially. Today, that childhood joy is disappearing fast. And our kids are the ones missing out.
Where Did the Playgrounds Go?
With rising apartment living, screen-heavy routines, and academic pressures starting as early as age 4, urban children are spending less than 60 minutes per day in physical play. According to a 2024 study by the Indian Pediatrics Journal, over 68% of children under 10 in Indian metros spend more time on screens than on play.
This is not just about nostalgia. It’s a health crisis. Lack of social play is directly linked to rising anxiety, delayed emotional development, poor attention span, and even early-onset obesity.
But What If You Don’t Have Other Kids Nearby?
Many parents feel stuck. “I want my child to play outdoors, but where? With whom? In my society, there are no kids his age.” Sounds familiar? You’re not alone. This is exactly why Chillar Masti was created — a safe, joyful, outdoor play club where kids make friends, play freely, and grow naturally.
Why Play Is Not a Luxury, But a Right
- 👫 Builds real-world friendships
- 🧠 Sparks imagination and creativity
- 💬 Boosts communication and confidence
