"Pariksha Pe Charcha has evolved into nation-wide movement," Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan

PM Modi and Education Minister Pradhan address students on stress-free exams. Key advice on study patterns, self-belief, and teacher's role.

"Listen to everyone's advice, but change your pattern only when you want to. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, February 6

Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday attended the 9th edition of 'Pariksha Pe Charcha', the annual interaction hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The flagship event, which focuses on stress-free exams for students, has been held every year since its inception in 2018.

The Union Minister watched the 9th edition of the annual interaction at the GMC Balayogi Auditorium.

In a post on X, the Union Minister asserted that 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' has evolved into a nationwide movement aimed at creating an enabling environment. He emphasised that this initiative ensures every child's individuality is recognised and are encouraged to excel without fear.

"A delight to attend PM Shri @narendramodi ji's masterclass with Parliamentary colleagues and dear students at GMC Balayogi Auditorium," wrote Pradhan.

"Not just our #ExamWarriors, Pariksha Pe Charcha has something to offer to everyone. Driven by PM Modi ji's vision, PPC has truly evolved into a nation-wide movement to create an enabling environment where every child's individuality is recognised, celebrated, nurtured and encouraged to excel without fear. #ParikshaPeCharcha26," added Pradhan.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with select "exam warriors" during the 9th edition of 'Pariksha pe Charcha' held at the Prime Minister's official residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi.

During his interaction with students, PM Modi urged students to "trust their own study patterns" while remaining open to advice, stressing that "success comes from balancing self-belief" with continuous learning.

Responding to a question about how students should handle confusion arising from different study patterns, the Prime Minister said examinees should focus on what works best for them while thoughtfully considering others' suggestions.

While interacting with students, PM Modi said, "Listen to everyone's advice, but change your pattern only when you want to. I have become PM. Still, people tell me to work in different ways. But everyone has their own pattern," PM Modi said. "Some people study better in the morning, some at night. Whatever suits you, believe in that. But also take advice, and if that benefits you, then only add it to your life structure."

The Prime Minister also highlighted the role of teachers and said their objective should be to stay slightly ahead of students to inspire growth. "The teacher's goal should be that if the student's speed is a certain level, the teacher's speed should be one step ahead. Our goal should be something that is within reach, but not easily attainable," he said.

The 2026 edition focused on helping students remain stress-free during examinations and encouraging a stronger emphasis on learning.

Earlier in a post shared on X, PM Modi said, "Do watch #ParikshaPeCharcha26... This year's PPC features very interesting topics relating to examinations, notably the need to remain stress-free, focus on learning and more. This is a platform I've always enjoyed, as it gives me an opportunity to interact with bright minds from across the country."

This year, the interactive sessions were also held with students in Devmogra, Gujarat; Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu; Raipur, Chhattisgarh; and Guwahati, Assam.

It's good to see the event reach multiple cities like Coimbatore and Guwahati. Stress during exams is a real issue across India. While the talk is encouraging, I hope there is more systemic change in our education system to reduce rote learning and actual exam pressure.

"Listen to everyone's advice, but change your pattern only when you want to." This quote from Modiji is pure gold! As a final year engineering student, this is exactly what I needed to hear. Too many people give unsolicited advice during exam season. Time to focus on my own rhythm.

Interesting to see a head of government directly engaging with students on exam stress. The concept of teachers staying one step ahead to inspire is a great point for educators worldwide. The nationwide scale of this is impressive.

With all respect, calling it a "nation-wide movement" feels like an overstatement. It's a good annual talk show, yes. But a movement? Real change requires fixing the root causes - fewer high-stakes exams, better counseling in schools, and less societal pressure for specific career paths. The intent is good, but the ground reality for students hasn't changed much.

My younger sister watched this live from Assam! She said it felt very relatable and less preachy than other motivational talks. The fact that it's held in regional centers now makes it more accessible. More power to our Exam Warriors! 💪
