What is 'Pariksha Pe Charcha'?

'Pariksha Pe Charcha' is an annual event in which the Prime Minister responds to questions posed by students related to examination stress and other related areas in a live programme. Last year, PM Modi interacted with specially-abled children during the fifth edition of 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' at Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi.

Addressing board exam students, their parents and teachers during the session last year, PM Modi urged parents and students to allow students to follow their dreams. "Students should not be pressured by teachers and parents to score good marks. The unfulfilled dreams of parents and teachers should not be forced upon children. They should be allowed to decide their future freely and follow their dreams," said PM Modi while interacting with students last year.

The Prime Minister further explained that online education is based on the principle of attaining knowledge while offline education is regarding sustaining that knowledge and practically applying it further. Stating that skills are quite important across the world, the Prime Minister said, "Technology is not a bane, it should be used effectively. Today students are developing 3D printers and running apps for Vedic mathematics. They're efficiently using technology," as per ANI.
