"I engage in these conversations to learn, not to teach": PM Modi interacts with students at 'Pariksha pe Charcha'

PM Modi interacts with students, stressing learning over teaching, cautioning against tech slavery, and linking discipline to achieving Viksit Bharat 2047 goals.

"I engage in these conversations to learn, not to teach. - Prime Minister Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, February 9

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday interacted with students during the second episode of the 9th edition of 'Pariksha pe Charcha'. The first episode of the programme was held on February 6.

In the second episode, the Prime Minister interacted with students in several cities across the country, Devmogra, Coimbatore, Raipur, Guwahati and Delhi.

While interacting with students, PM Modi said, "I have been interacting with students of Classes 10 and 12 for many years through Pariksha Pe Charcha. I engage in these conversations to learn, not to teach."

Responding to a student's question about how youth can contribute to the Viksit Bharat 2047 goal, PM Modi said he was pleased that students are thinking about the country's future.

He said, "I felt good to see that the students of Classes 10 and 12 in my country also carry the dream of Viksit Bharat 2047 in their minds. This is a matter of great happiness for me. We should adopt the habits of developed countries, we should turn off engines at red lights, we should not leave food, and we should reduce wastage... Discipline is very important in our life."

Responding to a student's question, Prime Minister cautioned against becoming overly dependent on technology, saying artificial intelligence and mobile phones should be used as tools and not allowed to control daily life.

"We should try not to make AI or mobile the master; some kids do not eat food unless they see the smartphone. We can use AI efficiently. We should not become slaves to technology... We must expand our potential through technology... We don't need to be scared of AI," PM said.

Prime Minister emphasised the importance of discipline alongside inspiration, saying motivation alone is not enough to achieve success.

He added that education should not be overlooked even as one pursues sports or other talents, and stressed the need for a balanced approach.

"If there is no discipline, then no matter how much inspiration there is, it will not be of any use. Suppose two farmers take inspiration from each other, but if the work is not done on time, the crop can suffer damage. That means, without discipline, the farmer can face loss. Inspiration, when combined with discipline, works like icing on the cake," he said.

"Education is needed in life as well as in social life. It should not be underestimated. Never make the mistake of thinking: "I am very good at sports, so I don't need to study." But it is also not true that education alone will take care of everything. Whatever talent you have within you, you should develop it. Play to become a player, that is the main subject. But, it is also necessary to have play in life. If you want to save life from becoming a game, then there should be play in life. You have to play as well as study," he said.

"I engage in these conversations to learn, not to teach" – What a humble and powerful statement. It sets the right tone for a dialogue with young minds. The emphasis on Viksit Bharat 2047 is inspiring. Our youth are indeed thinking big.

The advice on AI is spot on. We should use it as a tool, not get scared of it or become its slave. As an engineering student, I see both the potential and the over-dependence. Discipline + Inspiration is the real formula. Good points!

While the message is positive, I hope the practical challenges students face—extreme exam pressure, crowded classrooms, lack of counselling—are also addressed in policy. Talking is good, but systemic support is crucial. A balanced approach, as he said, should apply to governance too.

The farmer analogy to explain discipline was brilliant and so relatable for many of us from small towns. Simple habits like turning off engines at red lights can build a developed nation's mindset. Small steps lead to big changes. Jai Hind!

As a teacher, I'm glad the importance of not neglecting education while pursuing sports/talents was stressed. So many young athletes in India face this dilemma. A national conversation on this balance is much needed. 🙏
