Prime Minister shares tips on exam stress, focus, and positivity as students across India participate in the interactive session.
In a nationwide outreach that has now become an annual tradition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will once again connect directly with students, teachers, and parents across India through the much-awaited ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026’ event. The interactive programme aims to inspire students to overcome exam stress with confidence, optimism, and clarity — encouraging them to view examinations not as pressure points but as opportunities for progress.
This year’s edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha holds special significance, taking place just as board exam season approaches for millions of students across India. Educational institutions from metropolitan cities to rural communities are preparing to tune in to the live telecast, turning classrooms into spaces of national participation and shared learning. In Madhya Pradesh, preparations are already in full swing across government and private schools as well as colleges to show the event live, ensuring every student gets to hear the Prime Minister’s motivational message.
Nationwide Programme with a Student-Centric Approach
The Ministry of Education has organized Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 as part of the broader Jan Bhagidari (public participation) initiative under the Pariksha Pe Charcha campaign. The programme brings together millions of students, teachers, and parents both online and offline. The Prime Minister will address queries submitted by students nationwide, offering practical tips to handle exam-related anxiety, focus better, and manage time effectively.
Over the years, ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ has transformed into a flagship communication bridge between young learners and the country’s leadership. PM Modi has consistently used this platform to remind students that exams are not barriers but stepping stones toward bigger dreams. His talks often emphasize holistic learning, curiosity, and emotional balance — aligning with the essence of India’s National Education Policy (NEP 2020), which promotes creativity, multi-disciplinary learning, and reduction of academic stress.
Madhya Pradesh Schools Ready for Live Screening
Recognizing the motivational impact of this initiative, the Madhya Pradesh state education department has directed schools and colleges to make suitable arrangements for live viewing of Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026. Smart classrooms, auditoriums, and community centers in cities like Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, and Jabalpur are being equipped with screens and projectors to broadcast the event seamlessly.
Officials from the School Education Department said that all district education officers have been instructed to ensure maximum participation of students and teachers. Many schools are also planning group activities and follow-up discussions after the event to reinforce key messages shared by the Prime Minister.
Students have expressed great excitement about participating in the discussion. “Every year, we look forward to hearing the Prime Minister speak directly to us. His words give us confidence before our exams,” said Riya Sharma, a Class 10 student from Indore. Similarly, teachers believe that listening to the Prime Minister boosts students’ morale and reduces unnecessary fear associated with exams.
Focus on Exam Stress Management and Confidence Building
PM Modi’s Pariksha Pe Charcha addresses issues every student faces — from managing expectations and dealing with peer pressure to maintaining focus in an increasingly digital world. He often urges students to balance academic effort with creativity, physical activity, and emotional well-being. Through real-life stories and relatable examples, he emphasizes the importance of self-belief and perseverance.
In previous editions, the Prime Minister has encouraged students not to compare themselves with others and to take pride in their unique talents. He often says that parents should not see marks as the ultimate measure of success and that every learner has their own rhythm and potential. This message resonates strongly with educational institutions in Madhya Pradesh, where awareness campaigns on stress-free education have been gaining traction.
Mental health and emotional resilience are expected to remain central themes in this year’s session. Education experts believe the Prime Minister’s words will further sensitize parents and teachers to adopt compassionate approaches while guiding students through exam phases.
Integrating Digital Learning and Modern Assessment
Another highlight expected in this year’s Pariksha Pe Charcha is the emphasis on using technology positively in education. As more schools in Madhya Pradesh and across India embrace digital tools, PM Modi is likely to discuss how students can use online platforms responsibly — for learning, exploration, and innovation rather than distraction.
Under the Digital India and Atmanirbhar Bharat visions, the government continues to promote tech-enabled learning solutions such as e-content platforms, virtual labs, and online courses. Pariksha Pe Charcha serves as an interactive extension of these efforts, helping students think beyond traditional rote learning and develop problem-solving skills suited for the 21st century.
A Platform that Inspires Millions
Since its inception in 2018, Pariksha Pe Charcha has drawn participation from millions of students across India and abroad. The programme has evolved into a cultural moment that celebrates learning and positivity. It reflects the growing relationship between education, motivation, and national development — a theme PM Modi often reiterates in his speeches.
This year, the scale of participation is expected to surpass previous editions as digital streaming and television broadcasts extend its reach to remote corners of India. Schools in tribal and rural regions of Madhya Pradesh are ensuring connectivity through government-supported ICT classrooms and solar-powered setups.
Encouraging Collaborative Learning After the Event
Post-event activities have also been planned across schools to help students apply the lessons learned. Classroom debates, essay writing competitions, and group reflection sessions will allow students to express takeaways from the Prime Minister’s insights. Teachers plan to incorporate exam-confidence modules into regular classroom discussions.
Education officers have noted that such initiatives go beyond academic preparation, nurturing a generation that is confident, emotionally strong, and future-ready. Principals and educators believe that Pariksha Pe Charcha has helped bridge communication gaps between students, teachers, and parents by initiating meaningful dialogues about stress and success.
Conclusion: A Message of Hope and Positivity
As Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 unfolds, millions of young minds from Madhya Pradesh and across India will tune in, not just to listen, but to absorb messages of courage, self-trust, and balanced learning. The event embodies the idea that education is not merely about securing marks but about shaping confident, compassionate, and capable citizens.
