"Saraswati is worshipped regularly but still on the day of examination we remember Hanuman ji, why? Because we fear," Modi stated.
"I have read Vivekanand, Aham Brahmasavi. they say don't think your self any less. they inspired self confidence. the thing he always said is there 33 crore gods and goddess, They will bless you," Modi said.
When asked about how to maintain self-confidence, he said, "Self-confidence is very important. It's not a pill or herb. There is no tablet that can be consumed for instant confidence. We have to build it every day." PM Modi, who was "happy to see the wide range of comments and questions" tweeted, "Students, parents and teachers are also sharing their experiences, which is wonderful. Do keep writing on MyGov or the Open Forum on the NM Mobile App." The book is a collection of anecdotes from the prime minister's growing up years.

In last year’s “Mann Ki Baat”, his first for 2017, he asked students to “treat exams like festivals” and urged them not to take too much stress. “A happy mind is the secret of a good mark sheet,” he had said. He also cited the example of former President APJ Abdul Kalam, who had once revealed that he had tried to join the Air Force and failed, but that did not stop him from becoming a brilliant scientist.Watch LIVE: Prime Minister @narendramodi holds #ParikshaPeCharcha, an interactive session with students in Delhi. https://t.co/J8V7i8BZng pic.twitter.com/8LrJUJxMXZ
