From the results, it was noted that almost every youth has a smartphone and there is a big effect of 4G services in village. Most of the youth use social media on their mobile phone. For information and knowledge area, responses were good. Most of the youth were using it for information regarding work. For watching videos, listening to music the responses were on medium level and information on studies had poor response. Social network was playing an important role in friendship and many of the youth were using it, because it was used by their friends. But, number of youth picking social issues on social media was not enough. Social media is affecting regular life a lot as youth use it upto 2-3 hours in a day.
