In the past ten years, internet usage has exploded, not just in India but also over the world. Some people utilise the internet to conduct research, find information, communicate with others, and conduct business. On the other hand, some people utilise it to engage in pornography, binge gaming, all-night chit-chat, and even gambling. Concerns about "internet addiction" have been on the rise all around the world. Internet usage is extremely prevalent in India, especially among the younger generation. It was therefore deemed vital to investigate the internet usage patterns of young adults in an Indian context and how these relate to their physical and mental health. With this context, we launched the current study to thoroughly examine this problem. Total 60 adolescents were taken by using purposive sampling technique. Internet addiction assessed by Standardized tool given by Kimbrley young’s and impact of internet addiction on psychosocial health assessed by self-structured rating scale. Collected data was analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that in experimental group, majority of adolescents in pre-test and post-test had moderate internet addiction and moderate impact on psychosocial health. In control group, majority of adolescents in pre-test and post-test had moderate internet addiction and moderate impact on psychosocial health.
