Pariksha Pe Charcha: PM Modi urges students to shun tech slavery; embrace fearlessness, opt for smart travel

PM Modi urges students to avoid tech slavery, travel smartly, and lead fearlessly in the latest Pariksha Pe Charcha session. Get key takeaways on exam stress.

"Fearlessness must come first - Prime Minister Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, Feb 9

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a lively interaction during the second episode of the ninth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, engaged students from multiple states on Monday, offering practical life lessons amid the build-up to board examinations.

While interacting with students on technology, the Prime Minister cautioned them against becoming enslaved by gadgets. He advised students to harness digital tools to sharpen their abilities and expand their strengths, warning that excessive dependence can restrict personal freedom and urging mindful, balanced usage in daily life.

Addressing a student's question on vacation travel, PM Modi recommended drawing up lists of worthwhile spots in their own tehsil and across the country.

He stressed approaching travel with a student's mindset of curiosity and learning, rather than mere sightseeing, turning holidays into opportunities for discovery and growth.

Speaking about developing leadership, PM Modi said fearlessness must come first. He encouraged students to make firm decisions to act, even when others hesitate -- simple acts like cleaning up litter can inspire those around them.

Once courage takes root, he said, leadership qualities emerge naturally as people follow the example set.

In response to a query about managing high stress during the Pulwama attack aftermath, when national attention focused on him, PM Modi related it to exam pressure.

He emphasised that intense, focused preparation and consistent practice form the best antidote to anxiety. By concentrating fully on the task at hand, he noted, stress naturally diminishes, paving the way for success and clarity.

Broadcast live from locations including Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, Raipur in Chhattisgarh, Guwahati in Assam, Devmogra in Gujarat, and New Delhi, the session connects directly with young learners nationwide through Doordarshan and digital platforms.

The multi-city format of this episode enhances regional inclusivity, allowing diverse student voices to share experiences while receiving guidance on confidence, resilience, and holistic preparation.

As Pariksha Pe Charcha continues to inspire millions ahead of exams, PM Modi's messages blend everyday wisdom with motivation, reinforcing the programme's role in transforming exam season into a positive journey of self-discovery and growth.

This episode builds on the first session from February 6, where PM Modi wore an Assamese gamcha, promoted indigenous products, and inspired students to dream of a developed India in 25 years.

The programme, launched in 2018 at Talkatora Stadium, has evolved into a mass movement. From just 22,000 participants initially, registrations soared to over 4.5 crore this year, surpassing previous records, including a Guinness recognition in 2025.

Pariksha Pe Charcha serves as a supportive platform for students, teachers, and parents to discuss exam stress, time management, positivity, and life skills.

Fearlessness first! This really hit home. In our education system, we're taught to follow, not lead. Starting with small acts of courage, like cleaning up our own colony park, can make a big difference. Good to see the session being held in multiple cities – makes it more inclusive.

While the intent is good, I wish there was more concrete discussion on *how* to achieve this balance. Telling students to use tech mindfully is easy, but the education system and job market push them towards endless screen time. We need systemic solutions, not just advice.

The comparison between handling the pressure after Pulwama and exam stress is profound. It's all about preparation and focus. As a teacher, I see students crumbling under pressure every year. This platform is doing important work to change that mindset. More power to it!

4.5 crore registrations! That's incredible reach. My daughter participated from Guwahati and was so inspired. The message to travel within our tehsil is so practical – we often ignore the history and beauty in our own backyard. Time for a family trip to nearby sites this summer.

The concept of turning holidays into learning opportunities is fantastic. It's not just about relaxing, but growing. This holistic approach to student life – balancing tech, travel, courage, and preparation – is what makes Pariksha Pe Charcha unique. Wish we had something like this globally.
