Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with students, teachers and parents in today’s ‘Pariksha Par Charcha’ program.
The program will start at 11.00 am.
“Pariksha Pe Charcha is among the most exciting programs, giving an opportunity to discuss ways to make exams stress-free and support our Exam Warriors. I look forward to the program on the 27th of this month and urge you all to take part in this unique interaction,” PM Modi said in a tweet earlier.
The sixth iteration of “Pariksha Pe Charcha” had a registration period that ran from November 25 to December 30.
According to a Ministry of Education representative, enrollment in the programme has increased by more than double this year compared to 2022.
In comparison to PPC-2022, which had around 15.7 lakh participants, PPC-2023 has about 38.80 lakh registered participants (students make up 31.24 lakh, teachers make up 5.60 lakh, and parents make up 1.95 lakh).
“Students from over 150 countries, teachers from 51 countries, and parents from 50 countries have also registered for PPC-2023,” an Education Ministry official said.
Officials from the Ministry of Education further stated that parents, teachers, and students from the State Boards, CBSE, KVS, NVS, and other Boards enthusiastically participated.
About 2,050 contestants who were chosen through MyGov’s creative writing contests will receive a certificate and a unique Pariksha Pe Charcha kit that includes the Prime Minister’s Exam Warriors book in Hindi and English. NCERT may choose to include some of the participant questions in PPC-2023.
According to the Ministry of Education, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came up with the idea for this special interactive programme called Pariksha Pe Charcha, in which he engages with students, parents, and teachers from all over the country as well as from abroad to talk about their exam and post-school anxieties.
The purpose of the celebration is to aid in stress management so that one can enjoy life as a “Utsav.”
The Ministry of Education’s Department of School Education and Literacy has successfully run this event for the past five years.
The programme is planned to follow the COVID-19 procedures, as decided by the Ministry of Health, and take the form of a town hall, as in 2022.
