After Prime Minister Narendra Modi (read PM’s wishes to students here) and chairperson of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Anita Karwal’s letters to Board aspirants, Minister of Human Resource Development (HRD) Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank has congratulated students of CBSE class 10 and 12 who are appearing for their exams this year.
In a letter, Pokhriyal writes, “You can achieve to the best of your capabilities by taking exams in a stress-free, disciplined and hardworking manner.” He quoted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, “As Prime Minister has suggested in ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ programme, ‘Board exam is not exam of life but only a stage of it’ Thus, I would ask you all to enjoy this stage with excitement so that this too shall become memorable part of your school life.”
The HRD Minister has been quoting from PM Modi’s book ‘Exam Warriors’ and sharing tips for students through its official Twitter handle. The latest in the series includes –

To make students deal with exams in a stress-free manner, CBSE has also resorted to a rather funny way of circulating memes through its social media handles.
