TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Inaugurating the discussion on ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha, 2023,’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that crores of students in the country are taking his exam and he derived pleasure from it. Modi said that it was perhaps the first time where Pariksha Pe Charcha was being held in such cold weather, since it is usually held in February.
Ashwini, a student of Madurai Kendriya Vidyalaya, asked a question on the stress and pressure to score high marks in exams. Similarly, other students asked questions on how to deal with their family’s expectations if they do not score well in the exams.
Modi replied that it is natural for one’s family to have expectations from their children but it is concerning if the expectations are a result of social status. He added that sometimes parents, despite knowing their child’s capabilities and calibre make tall claims among their peers. They then expect the same from their children which creates “pressure on the children to score better marks.”
