Pariksha Pe Charcha 2019
PM Narendra Modi addressed students from all across the globe at an educational event ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha‘ on January 29.
Every year PM Modi interacts with students, teachers and parents ahead of board exams, entrances examination in order to help them cope with the stress. People who want to be a part of this discourse can register themselves online if they want to ask questions and some selected participants also get a chance to attend the event.
One such participant, a mother from New Delhi, Madhumati Sengupta asked PM Narendra Modi a question, which we’re sure many other parents wanted to ask.
The question was, “My son was good at studies but is focusing too much on online games. How should I deal with it?
PM Modi tackled the question with quite a wit. “Ye PUBG wala hai kya? Ye samasya bhi hai, samadhaan bhi hai, hum chahe hamare bachhe tech se door chale jayen, fir toh vo ek prakar se piche jana shuru ho jaenge“, he said.

He meant that technology is a boon as well as a curse. It depends on how the child is using it.
PM Modi is perhaps the first ever PM to interact with students for their board exams and relieve their stress, he said. Last year, seven crore students had participated. I believe this year around 12 crore students will participate online, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said.
