Unprecedented Participation Signals Positive Impact
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s flagship initiative, Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, kicked off on February 6 with remarkable nationwide engagement, drawing an unprecedented 4.5 crore registrations from students, parents and teachers — surpassing last year’s Guinness World Record participation.
Now in its ninth edition, the annual interactive event has firmly established itself as a cornerstone of the NDA government’s educational outreach, combining motivational leadership with practical guidance — a blend that continues to resonate across the country.
A Nation-Wide Conversation on Student Well-Being
At 10 am on Friday, classrooms from Kashmir to Kanyakumari paused as PM Modi addressed young “Exam Warriors” on strategies to remain stress-free, confident and focused during board examination season.
Broadcast live across Doordarshan channels, All India Radio and the Prime Minister’s official YouTube and social media platforms, the event reaffirmed the government’s commitment to inclusive communication and transparent governance.
This year’s theme — Make Exams a Celebration, along with emphasis on our Freedom Fighters, Save India and Clean India missions — reflects the broader ethos of the NDA government in linking academic preparation with national pride and civic responsibility.
Addressing Stress with Empathy and Vision
In his address, PM Modi encouraged students to embrace exams as a journey of learning, underlining that emotional well-being is as critical as academic achievement. This empathetic approach has been widely credited with helping students manage anxiety and build resilience.
Officials highlight that PPC is more than a talk — it is a national movement, strengthened each year by government efforts to adapt to evolving educational needs, especially in an era where competitive pressures are high and expectations run deep.
Broader Government Vision in Focus
The event also dovetails with wider NDA priorities in education — from digital learning initiatives to strengthening mental health support — showcasing how policy and outreach can work hand-in-hand.
By placing students, parents and teachers at the centre of an ongoing dialogue, Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 reaffirms the government’s focus on holistic empowerment and reinforces PM Modi’s message: India’s youth are not merely exam takers, but contributors to a confident, capable and compassionate future.
