2. Advice to teachers: The Prime Minister urged educators to go beyond mere advice and actively recognize students’ unique strengths. He highlighted the importance of fostering an environment where students feel valued and understood.

3. Exams vs. knowledge: While acknowledging the significance of examinations, PM Modi stressed that academic tests should not be mistaken for true learning. He encouraged students to focus on gaining knowledge rather than just preparing for exams.

4. Hobbies & extracurricular activities: Addressing parents, PM Modi highlighted the need to allow children the freedom to explore their interests. He stressed that students should not be confined to books alone and should have time to pursue hobbies, as this enhances overall development.

5. Handling pressure: Drawing inspiration from cricket, PM Modi advised students to concentrate on their studies rather than external stress. Just as a batsman focusses on the ball amid crowd noise, students should direct their attention to learning instead of worrying about pressure.

6. Health, sleep & diet: The Prime Minister also underlined the importance of maintaining good health. He reminded students that simply avoiding illness does not equate to being healthy—proper sleep and a balanced diet are crucial for overall well-being.

With Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025, PM Modi continues his initiative to inspire and guide students, helping them navigate exam season with confidence and a positive mindset.
