PM Modi offered practical advice on how to stay focused in the age of social media and encouraged students to use a ratio between studies and activities conducted through social media. He also stressed the role of mental health, self-confidence, and family support.
When asked about parents comparing them with other children, PM Modi told the parents to encourage coordination and sharing rather than creating a competitive atmosphere. He spoke that excessive praise of one child affects another's self-confidence, while balanced behaviour strengthens children mentally.
PM Modi asked the students to learn and use AI constructively rather than fear it. He said there was a need to ensure adequate sleep, reduction of stress, and one should not give up on writing to bring focus and improve mental well-being.
A student asked about the diet followed by the Hon'ble PM. He replied that he has always followed a vegetarian diet. In childhood, he had the food available at home. At times, he used to enjoy cooking "Khichdi."
He also told students to treat their diet like medicine, “Decide whether to eat just to fill your stomach or to satisfy your mind. After eating grains, take deep breaths to energize your body. This improves health and makes you feel better.”
The episode also gave advice to parents: avoid unnecessary pressure and act as a support system to help children become confident, balanced, and resilient during exam season.
A student asked PM Modi to identify five places to see in India. He suggested the starting point would be visiting one's own state in the first instance, as local travel can be the start of a lifetime of learning.
While interacting with students through Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, PM Modi said he is happy to see that the students of classes 10 and 12 are already envisioning a developed India by 2047. PM Narendra Modi defined what a developed nation means with the example of Singapore, a small fishing village. PM Narendra Modi quoted the words of previous Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew saying that being a developed country is all about developing the habit of being disciplined. Even littering and spitting can’t be tolerated.
