Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with more than 3,500 school and college students at Delhi’s Talkatora Stadium on Friday, answering questions on how to prepare for exams and deal with the stress.
Called “Pariksha Par Charcha”, Modi’s speech was also aired at all CBSE-affiliated schools across the country, and comes weeks after he released a book on the topic.
“Never let the student within you die,” Modi said while beginning his
speech.
Modi answered pre-recorded questions about confidence, hard work and concentration. “Do not think of me as your Prime Minister, think of me as your friend,” he said. “You are going to conduct my exam today, you all are my examiners,” he said, to a laughing audience. “You decide how many marks you will give me out of 10.”
The Prime Minister thanked the television media for broadcasting the programme to students across the country.
