-Let the children find their own path

-Lookout for any changes in the child's behaviour

When a student asked, "Where do I start studying from? I feel like I am forgetting everything. Please guide me." The prime minister responded by saying, "Not only for exams but in life, time management is very important. Work gets accumulated because we don't finish it on time. You should never feel tired to work, you need to feel happy, if you don't work, that is when you feel tired. 
Take your mother as an example of time management, she never get tired, observe your mother well, you will learn time management and micro management best from your mother."

"While you shouldn't restrict the children and put boundations on them, you should monitor their behaviour, if there is a change. Check if they are quiter than usual or not talking at all," said Modi at the event. He also said that parents and teachers should be alert if there any such signs.

During the sixth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha, PM Modi reieterated that exams are not the end of a student's life. And, they shouldn't succumb to the exam pressure, instead take it up as a challenge and focus on becoming better.

The Prime Minister concluded his interaction at Pariksha Pe Charcha 2023 event with saying that parents and teachers should take care of our children and keep a tab if there is a change in their behaviour, keep them safe and ensure that they fall into bad company but teach them that sky is the limit and watch them pave a way for themselves.

Parents should provide opportunity to learn from experiences and should not bind them with restrictions. This will make them a better person and they will learn the societal values, PM Modi advised parents on grooming their children

In his address, the Prime Minister said, "Don't ever shut down a curious person, if you don't know the answer tell them that it is a very good question, I will search for its answer and get back to you." Always ecourage a person's curiousity.

In his address, Modi encouraged young students on learning regional languages. "Tamil is the oldest language in the world and we should be proud of it. Apart from learning our mother tongue, all Indians should leans few phrases of other regional languages to promote diversity," Modi said

Talking to students, PM Modi said that students should practice digital fasting for one day a week to cut screen time. "This will help in reconnecting with family. We should keep one area as no technology zone and do not use any tech devices in that area," he said

Students asked PM on how to concentrate in exam preparation without being distracted by social media. Replying to this, PM Modi said, "I believe students are smarter than smartphones to analyze its right usage. We should monitor our usage and utilize it smartly as per our need."

"I believe in the principle that criticism is a way to purify oneself. However, it is important to address who is criticizing you. Criticism from family and friends should be taken in a constructive way as their feedback is intended to make you better in lfe. The negative feedback from rest of the people should be ignored as such people are irrelevant in your life," Modi replied to students' question 

A student from Gurugram asked how to perform well while being an average student. To this, PM Modi said, "It's remarkable that you have realised your potential. Most students are average and these ordinary kids always perform extraordinary in life. Therefore, one should realise their potential and work according to that." 

"Students should balance hard work and smart work to excel in life. The story of 'Thirsty crow' is a classic example how to do hard work smartly. Students should learn from this story. It is important to first understand and analyze the work and then seek our smart ways to do the work with all strength and dedication," Modi said to students. 

In his address, PM Modi guided students to not use unfair means in the exam hall. "Cheaters can use unfair means to pass one exam but will not be able to perform well in life. Exams come and go, we have to live life with honesty," he said.

Not just in exam but student should follow time management in general life to live a disciplined life, says PM Modi while answering the question. "Note your a week's routine and analyze your study pattern. This will help you understand that you spend extra time in activities you like the most. Therefore, it is important that you spend first 30 minutes in studying a subject you like the least and then next 30 minutes in studying another least favorite subject. This will help you in dedicating equal time to all subjects without getting bored," PM guided students.

Answering a question asked by students on high expectations of families to perform well in exams, PM Modi said, 'Family setting expectations from the child is natural. However, if the expectations are set to maintain their social status in society then it is a worrisome thought. Parents should not feel inferiority complex if their children score less than expected marks. Meanwhile, students should understand that expectations itself is a subjective concept and it will remain even if they perform well in exams.
