New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ programme with students and teachers from across the country on January 16 has been rescheduled as the event was clashing with Pongal, Makar Sankranti, Lohri, Onam and other festivals, said a government statement. The interaction will now be held on January 20.
The PM will engage in Q&A session and share his thoughts with the students to beat exam stress. The exam season gets underway in February.
A lot of excitement and enthusiasm is being seen among the students, teachers and parents to not only participate in the unique event but also to receive valuable tips from the Prime Minister who is keen to ensure that the students take exams in a relaxed atmosphere and do not come under stress, to ensure better results in the long run, the government statement said.
The HRD Ministry in partnership with MyGov has launched a ‘short essay’ competition for students of classes 9 to 12 for the third edition of Prime Minister’s interaction. Students whose entries are judged the best on the basis of their online responses will be invited to the programme at Delhi’s Talkatora Stadium.
