However, 46.49% (53/114) of the participating students sit erect and 53.51% (61/114) bend forward while operating the computers and 56.14% (64/114) of the students experienced pain and 43.86% (50/114) do not experienced pain. 55.70% (44/79) of the participants have back pain, 32.91% (26/79) have waist pain and 11.39% (9/79) have leg’s pain.47.27% (52/110) of the students maintain sitting distance of 10cm from the computer’s screen, 40% (44/110) maintained a distance of 15cm and 12.73% (14/110) maintained a distance of 20cm. Also, 49.45% (45/91) of the student’s experienced eyes pain, 29.6% (27/91) experienced eyes discharge, 12.09% (11/91) experienced eye itching and 8.79% (8/91) experienced red eyes.
