Along with their parents and teachers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday held his second "Pariksha Pe Charcha" with students. The prime minister interacted with 2,000 students from high school to college. The event was held at Talkatora Stadium and telecasted live.
"It is a unique interaction where students, teachers, parents and the Prime Minister will come together to discuss issues related to exams and the stress connected to that," the Human Resource Development Ministry said in a statement.
Last year, only students of Delhi-NCR participated in the event. However, this year, students from all over India as well as Indian students residing abroad, including in Russia, Nigeria, Iran, Nepal, Doha, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, participated in the event.
