Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026: PM Modi to Host Second Video Session on Monday
The eagerly anticipated second video of the ninth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) with Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled for a live broadcast on Monday, February 9, at 10 am. This interactive initiative, designed to engage students, teachers, and parents, continues to build on its legacy of fostering a supportive educational environment.
PM Modi's Insights from the First Video
In the inaugural video released on the Ministry of Education's YouTube channel, Prime Minister Modi delivered a powerful message on the essence of comprehensive education. He articulated that effective educators must prioritize holistic development, encompassing academic, professional, and social dimensions. Drawing a vivid analogy, Modi compared a student's preparation to that of a bowler in cricket, emphasizing the necessity of all-around readiness to excel in examinations.
Modi further elaborated, "Listen to everyone's advice but change your lifestyle pattern only when you want to. Education should not feel like a burden; focus not only on marks but also on improving life." He encouraged students to view exams as festivals to be celebrated, rather than sources of stress, urging them to maintain balance and confidence.
