Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025: PM Modi’s Student Interaction in a New Format


Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s annual interaction program, Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC), will be held in a new format and style this year, with distinguished personalities from various fields engaging with students preparing for board exams.
Key Highlights of PPC 2025
- New Format: The event will take place at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, in a town hall-style discussion.
- Guest Participants: Personalities including Deepika Padukone, Mary Kom, Avani Lekhara, Rujuta Diwekar, Vikrant Massey, Bhumi Pednekar, Technical Guruji, and Radhika Gupta will interact with students.
- Record Participation: The 8th edition of PPC has seen 3.56 crore registrations, a significant increase from 2.26 crore in 2024.
- Nationwide Movement: PPC has grown into a Jan Andolan (people’s movement), helping students manage exam stress and view examinations as an opportunity for growth rather than pressure.
Pre-Event Engagements (January 12 – January 25, 2025)
To promote a stress-free learning environment, schools across India organized activities such as:
- Traditional games like Kho-Kho and Kabaddi
- Short-distance marathons
- Meme and poster-making competitions
- Nukkad Natak (street plays) and student-led discussions
- Yoga and meditation sessions for relaxation and focus
Since its inception in 2018, PPC has evolved into a major initiative by the Ministry of Education, focusing on mental well-being, holistic education, and student empowerment. This year’s edition aims to further enhance its impact by incorporating new discussion formats and expert insights.
