Mysuru student in ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’

A student from Mysuru is among the 40 students studying in Class 10 and Class 12 and appearing for this year’s Board examinations who will be participating in “Pariksha Pe Charcha” that will be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 1 at 11 a.m.

M.B. Tarun, a student of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, is the only student from Karnataka taking part in the event.

The Prime Minister will be interacting with the students, teachers and parents in the 5 th edition of PPC. He will respond to questions related to examination stress, and related areas posed by the students in the live programme.

In a press release circulated to the Department of Information and Public Relations’ Office in Mysuru, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the PPC will be streamed not only in India but also in other countries, reaching out to the Indian diaspora.

Students, teachers and parents who will get to ask questions to the Prime Minister have been shortlisted on the basis of an online creative writing competition on a bouquet of themes. The competition was organised from December 28 to February 3 through MyGov platform. Participants selected through competitions on MyGov will be presented with a certificate of appreciation and a special “Pariksha Pe Charcha kit” consisting of Exam Warriors books written by the Prime Minister, he said.
