Key Takeaways from Modi Ji’s Final Address in Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025

On February 10, Modi Ji encouraged students appearing for board exams to stay positive and stress-free. He highlighted how Pariksha Pe Charcha has become a guiding force in helping young minds prepare for exams with confidence. Urging students to embrace a positive mindset, he said, “This is the season of Board Exams. I wish my young friends, the Exam Warriors, the best of luck. Appear for your papers without any stress and with a completely positive spirit.” 

He started the session by distributing Til Ke Laddoo for the post Makar Sakranti celebration. With this he initiated a conversation about the benefits of eating Til Ke Laddoo and why they are traditionally consumed in winter. He then engaged students in a discussion about nutrition, leading to a conversation on millets. He highlighted that the United Nations declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets, a global initiative proposed by India. Emphasizing the Government of India’s efforts to raise awareness about nutrition (Poshan), he encouraged students to incorporate millets and seasonal fruits into their diet. Additionally, he advised them to avoid junk food, oily foods, and products made from maida.

He began by expanding the discussion on nutrition, linking it to overall well-being, quality sleep, and fitness. 

While talking about rest he said, “Sleep is the most important factor that determines your health”. He further discussed the benefits of sunlight and daily bathing and encouraged children to spend a few minutes in the morning sun each day.

Mastering Pressure and Focusing on Goals 

Modi Ji then addressed how to handle pressure by sharing an example of how a batsman stays focused solely on the ball during a cricket match, regardless of the voices in the stadium that might be creating pressure on them. He mentioned you should have a specific target for yourself and there should be no distraction when preparing for it. 

Building on this, he spoke about self-reflection, encouraging students to regularly ask themselves:

• What do I aspire to become?
• What can I achieve?
• Which actions will bring me true satisfaction?

When students asked Modi Ji about the art of leadership, seeking insights from him as a global leader.

He explained that true leadership is not defined by external appearance but by leading through actions. While explaining more precisely he said, “Leadership is not imposed but accepted by those around you.” He further explained the importance of understanding the challenges faced by team members and supporting them through difficulties. This approach builds their confidence and trust in person leading.

Hobbies, and Overcoming Struggles

Addressing a question from a Class 12 student in Tripura, PM Modi shared his insights on balancing hobbies with studies. In response, PM Modi urged parents and teachers not to confine children within a rigid academic structure, as it could hinder their overall growth. He highlighted that fostering an open atmosphere and interactive experiences is essential for the holistic development of students.

When asked how students who work hard but still struggle to succeed and stay motivated,

Modi Ji emphasized the importance of identifying each child’s unique strengths, as every student has distinct learning abilities and styles. He encouraged students to cultivate the habit of writing and stated, “Regardless of your age, writing helps you organize and bind your thoughts.” He shared the example of a student who spent more time in the tinkering lab rather than focusing solely on academics and eventually created a Robot. This was the same student who was once on the verge of dropping out of school. Modi Ji stressed the importance of recognizing each child’s unique potential and guiding them in the right direction.

As the Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025 reached its midpoint, students sought guidance on effective ways to balance time 

In response, he said that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, but many end up wasting time on unproductive activities. He shared, “I spend most of my time on activities that I have planned and are important.” He encouraged students to develop the habit of noting down their planned tasks and tracking what they have accomplished. Emphasizing the power of reverse psychology, he advised students to start with the subjects they find most challenging instead of postponing them for later.

When asked about avoiding overthinking and staying focused, he gave a simple yet profound answer:

“Live in the moment.”

Further conversations covered academic pressure, anxiety, and stress

Here Modi ji said, pay attention to your behavior patterns—like coming home, opening a book, and closing it without actually studying. This could be a sign that something is bothering you. He advised students to openly discuss their concerns without hesitation.

While addressing Parental Expectations in Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025,

Modi Ji urged parents not to treat their children as trophies for display and to avoid unnecessary comparisons. He emphasized that parents’ expectations often arise from comparing their children with others and asked them to appreciate their children’s unique strengths rather than showcasing them as “models.” Instead, he encouraged parents to recognize and support their children’s skills and interests, monitor their progress, and provide guidance.

To the question of overcoming exam fear while also prioritizing health, 

Modi Ji emphasized that this anxiety often stems from parental expectations, where children are pressured to pursue careers as engineers or doctors. He urged parents to recognize that every child is unique and encouraged them to understand their child’s abilities, interests, and capabilities, supporting them accordingly. Additionally, he conveyed an important message to teachers about fostering an inclusive learning environment. He stressed the need to give equal attention to all students, rather than focusing solely on top performers, ensuring that no child is left behind.

Speaking on overcoming failure, 

He reassured students that even if 30-40% fail in their Class 10 or 12 exams, life does not end there. He emphasized the need to decide whether to succeed in life or only in academics. Additionally, he advised students to practice solving previous exam papers. This will help them develop the skill of writing concise answers and managing time efficiently.

In the final moments, Modi Ji touched upon the topic of mastering technology 

He emphasized that we should be grateful that our generation has technology all around us. Instead of running away from it, he urged students to critically analyze how they spend their time on technology. He urged students to question whether they are merely watching reels or truly exploring its depth. With depth he meant understanding the insights of reel, algorithms in which particular platform works, and functionality.

Modi Ji further shared an inspiring perspective. He highlighted that the people behind research, innovation, and technological development are working for the greater good. Therefore, it is our responsibility to learn, understand, and use technology optimally.
