Pariksha Par Charcha: Modi urges students to work on improving themselves

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday interacted with the students who are all set to appear for the board exams this year. During ‘Pariksha Par Charcha’ programme PM suggested students on how to remain stress free during this time of the year.

Before the interactive session started, PM on a lighter note said that you (students) are going to take the exams in few days but today is my test and also urged the students to always keep a student in them alive.

Emphasising the importance of self-confidence, PM said the students should think themselves to be their own examiners.

“Self-confidence comes by working hard. We should always aim of improving themselves”, said PM.

Kaniskha, a student from Noida’s DAV school, asked what if even as students try to concentrate, but get distracted... what should they then do. To which PM responded, “Concentration is not something which is to be learnt. During the day every person does concentrate while reading or talking. He added, yoga also helps in improving the concentration.

Peer pressure

On how to handle peer pressure during the exams, PM suggested that the competition should not be with others but with ourselves. Focus should be on how improve oneself. 

He also urged that parents should not make the achievements of their child a matter of social prestige as every child is blessed with unique talents.

Apart from those sitting in the audience, the questions were also asked by the students with the MyGov.in portal and Narendra Modi app.
