Pariksha Pe Charcha 2024 (PPC2024) key takeaways, highlights: Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised the importance of trust between students and their parents, while interacting with students and teachers at the government's annual 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' event organised in the recently-opened Bharat Mandapam convention centre in New Delhi's Pragati Maidan on Monday, January 29. "There should be no trust deficit between children and parents," the PM said at the mega event, a unique initiative to cope with examination stress amongst the students.

The Prime Minister said that parents should not treat their child's report card as their own visiting card, and stressed the importance of instilling resilience in children to help them cope with pressure. He also asserted that parents and teachers should collectively address challenges faced by students.

"We cannot do 'switch off', pressure is gone. One must become capable of bearing any kind of pressure. They should believe that pressure keeps on building, and one has to prepare oneself," said the PM, speaking at the seventh edition of the interaction programme with school students, teachers and parents.

To date, the Pariksha Pe Charcha 2024 event has recorded more than one crore registrations on the government's MyGov portal, reflecting the extensive enthusiasm among students nationwide to participate and interact with the Prime Minister.

Here are some highlights of what the PM said at the 2024 edition of the popular event:

I challenge every challenge and evolve new strategies
Always make friends who are more intelligent and work harder, you must be inspired by such friends
A lot of parents keep on giving examples of other children to their children; parents should avoid doing these things
We have also seen that those parents who have not been very successful in their lives have nothing to say or want to tell the world about their successes and achievements, make the report card of their children as their own visiting card; whenever they meet someone, they will tell them the story of their children
You must not compare one child with another as that can be detrimental to their future

Practice the writing of answers as much as possible. If you have that practice, the majority of exam hall stress will go away. pic.twitter.com/2kAsFiDo6m
