Pariksha Pe Charcha: PM advises students to celebrate exams as festivals
New Delhi(PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday interacted with students during the annual Pariksha Pe Charcha , and advised them to celebrate exams as festivals.
This is my favourite programme but due to Covid I couldn't meet you. This gives me special happiness as I am meeting you after a long time, PM Modi told the audience at the Talkatora Stadium here drawing a loud round of applause.
Who is tense? You or your parents? There are more people here whose parents are tensed. If we make exams a festival it will feel vibrant, he said.
To a query, the prime minister said the National Education Policy has been wholeheartedly welcomed by every section of country.
Kenny Patel from Gujarat's Vadodara asked how can one complete syllabus along with proper revision and also get proper sleep.
Why are you scared? It's not the first time you are taking exams. Now you are reaching the last mile. You have crossed the entire ocean why are you scared of sinking on the shore? the PM responded.
Pariksha Pe Charcha is being organised for the last four years by the Eduation Ministry's Department of School Education and Literacy.
The first three editions of PPC were held in Delhi in an interactive town-hall format. The fourth edition was held online on April 7 last year.

Islamabad, May 10 (PTI): Pakistan announced on Saturday that it was opening its airspace for all kinds of traffic, shortly after the announcement of a ceasefire with India.
Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) made the announcement as apparently normalcy returns to the country after the raging tension with India seems to be ending.
“All airports in the country are available for normal flight operations. Passengers are requested to contact the relevant airline for the latest schedule of their flights,” the PAA said.
It also said that Pakistan's airspace has been fully restored for all types of flights, and all airports in the country are available for normal flight operations.
Pakistan’s airspace remained closed for a certain duration and routes due to the tension with India, which hampered regular air traffic, resulting in inconvenience for passengers.
The decision to open airspace showed that clouds on the horizon of Pakistan and India are lifting.
