To help students and their parents counter exam-related stress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi started a thoughtful initiative. He interacted with students in the first edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha last year.He advised students to keep exam-related stress at bay, while being resilient and staying healthy.

In the second edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha, Prime Minister will not only interact with students but also their parents and teachers and respond to their queries on a host of subjects related to examinations particularly, dealing with exam-centric anxiety. Students from across the nation are excited about the programme, and are looking forward to hear the Prime Minister’s take on their queries.
