The Prime Minister engaged with over 2 crore registered students, alongside their teachers and parents, either physically present in Delhi or virtually to discuss a panoply of issues impacting exam preparation and student life in general. Success, he noted, is not a zero-sum game; competition should be viewed as a quest for personal betterment rather than a battleground against peers. The emphasis was not only on academic pursuit but also on maintaining a balanced lifestyle with adequate sleep, physical activity, and nutrition, reiterating the sentiment that a fit body harbors a sound mind. PM Modi encouraged an all-hands-on-deck approach to tackling stress factors, with community involvement from teachers, parents, and peers alike.
In a nation where technology is ubiquitous, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s conversation with students during the annual ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ event highlighted the importance of balancing technology use and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Amid the buzz of board exams, PM Modi urged students to harness technology wisely, avoid excessive screen time, practice answer writing, and keep a focus on self-improvement. Turning to parents and teachers, he cautioned against creating unhealthy competition among children and advised them to foster supportive, positive environments.
