Pariksha Pe Charcha 2020 | Pursue, Do Not Pressurise Your Kids: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is interacting with a group of students, teachers, and parents about various aspects of the examinations during the third edition of ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha.’ The interaction programme with students is being organised at Talkatora Indoor Stadium in Delhi. A total of 2,000 students and teachers are expected to attend the event. Out of 2,000 1,050 students with whom PM Modi will interact have been selected through an essay competition.

Assuring students of his complete focus, PM Modi said they could speak to him openly. "Speak to me hashtag without filter," he said. The PM said everyone should keep abreast of the latest technology but it should not be allowed to govern lives.

"We should have the strength to keep technology under our control and ensure it does not waste our time. One room in our homes should be technology free. Whoever enters will not carry any gadgets," he told students while stressing that exams are not everything.

The prime minister also urged students to spend their spare time with the elderly. He also said students should not be afraid of failure and take it as a part of life.
