Students Hail Modi ‘Mantras’ On Study Techniques
New Delhi: With CBSE, ICSE and various state board exams approaching, students across the country welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s guidance on stress management and study techniques shared in today’s 9th edition of ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’.
Tanu Aditya, a Class 10 student at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Gwalior, shared that the annual interaction gives clear direction to the students. He highlighted the Prime Minister’s empowering message and stated that PM Modi had urged students not to be afraid of exams but instead see them as a “festival”.
“Through the 9th edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha, PM Modi gave clear instructions on how we should not be afraid of exams, instead we should celebrate exams like a festival. He explained that exams are only for testing purposes and we should not stress about them. We should also help our friends who find their studies difficult and in return take help from those who are better than us. We can all attend our exams properly without worrying.”
Rishad Saliah, a Class 11 student, stated that he values Prime Minister Modi’s emphasis on both skills and grades rather than prioritizing skills and grades. Saliah told ANI, “As Prime Minister Modi said, we should focus on both grades and skills. He made a very important point: nowadays people often focus only on grades and not on skills. As a result, we see unemployment due to this lack of practical skills. It was a very good thing for him to highlight this.”
Besides Gwalior, students from other parts of the country also appreciated PM Modi’s message. Nobonita Ghosh, a student from Tripura, expressed her happiness with the programme. “I felt very happy after watching this show. It was a great experience to watch it with Tripura CM Manik Saha,” Ghosh told ANI. While students expressed their appreciation for PM Modi’s programme, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan claimed that the Prime Minister increased the confidence of the students by giving small tips. He also stated that all the students are eagerly waiting for the ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ programme. “… It increases students’ self-confidence by giving small hints. It encourages students to share their ideas and guides them towards holistic development… Students were very eagerly waiting for Pariksha pe charcha. It serves as a guiding light for students before exams.” Pradhan told ANI.
Expressing similar sentiments, Union Minister of State for Education Jayant Chaudhary stated that the students who participated in the program were very curious and eager to meet PM Modi: “The Prime Minister has a very unique and attractive way of expression, everyone felt that during the program today… The students who participated were very curious and eager to meet him and learn from him…” Chaudhary told ANI.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with selected ‘exam warriors’ during the 9th edition of ‘Pariksha pe Charcha’ held at the Prime Minister’s official residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi. The 2026 edition is focused on helping students stay stress-free during exams and encouraging a stronger emphasis on learning.
