PM also holds annual interactions with students called ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ (discussion over exams). Encouraging students not be afraid of failures he had said, ,”When ISRO launched the moon mission, I was told not to go for Chandrayaan-2’s landing as there was no guarntee of success. When I went to attend the launch, I was restless about the failure of the Chandrayaan 2, so I met the scientists to motivate them the next morning.’ He further added, ‘Motivation, demotivation are very common. Everyone goes through these feelings. But remember that every failure is a step towards success.’
