Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with Rajalaxmi Acharya, a girl student from Adarsha Vidyalaya in Cuttack’s Banki during his Pariksha Pe Charcha programme held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi on Monday.
After being allowed to ask questions to PM Modi, Acharya began by saying Jay Jagannath. She asked about ways to keep the pressure away during exams.
PM Modi replied to her question in his own typical manner. Smiling at her he said more than students their parents have a bigger responsibility to keep the exams pressure away from their children.
He said, “Special behaviour by the parents during exams puts their children under more pressure.”
Giving an example, Modi said, “Parents give their children new dress, new pens and even ask them to eat something special to do well in exams. This kind of behaviour puts the children under more pressure. Parents should behave normal and treat the exams day as any other day.”
