PM Modi plans virtual 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' amid exam controversies

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's annual 'Pariksha pe Charcha' initiative is set to transition to a virtual platform, with NCERT developing a dedicated portal. This platform will host Modi's speeches and offer interactive 2D/3D environments for students, allowing them to capture selfies and engage with the content.

This move comes amid controversy over alleged irregularities in competitive exams, with opposition parties questioning the integrity



of the examination process in the country. They have urged Modi to address issues related to the medical entrance exam NEET as well.

Earlier this week, NCERT released an Expression of Interest document inviting vendors to develop the Virtual Exhibition for Pariksha Pe Charcha. The goal is to attract at least one crore online visitors annually and recreate the event in a virtual format that students can access from their homes throughout the year.
