To boost the morale of students, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Monday interact with students, teachers and parents to share “valuable tips” with them to ensure they take the upcoming board and entrance exams in a relaxed manner.
The third edition of Prime Minister’s ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ is being organised at Talkatora Indoor Stadium in Delhi. A total of 2,000 students and teachers will attend the event, of which 1,050 students have been selected through an essay competition.
“We will once again have extensive discussions and insightful conversations on a wide range of subjects relating to examinations, especially how to remain happy as well as stress free during exam season.
“Inviting you all to join ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha 2020’!. In the run up to ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha 2020’, lakhs of students, parents and teachers shared their inputs and suggestions. These are extremely valuable, giving insights into the pressing issues when it comes to exam preparation, the exam itself and the time after examinations,” Modi said in a series of tweets on Sunday.
In 2017, Prime Minister had written a book Exam Warriors advising students
how to face exams in cool state of mind. Officials said the event will start around 11.00 am and will also be broadcast on YouTube. Doordarshan and many TV channels will broadcast the programme. The students who will get to ask questions to the Prime Minister have been short-listed on the basis of essays submitted by them on five subjects — Gratitude is Great, Your Future Depends on Your Aspirations, Examining Exams, Our Duties, Your Take, and Balance is Beneficial.
“A lot of excitement and enthusiasm is being seen among the students, teachers and parents to not only participate in the unique event but also to receive valuable tips from the Prime Minister who is keen to ensure that the students take exams in a relaxed atmosphere and do not come under stress, to ensure better results in the long run,” the HRD Ministry said in a statement.
A senior official said the Ministry received around 2.6 lakh entries from students for the event this year. Last year, it was around 1.4 lakh entries. The PM took ten questions in 2018 edition and 16 in 2019. This year’s event was initially scheduled for January 16 but was rescheduled due to festivals across the country.
