The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi’s unique interactive program with students, Pariksha Pe Charcha
(PPC), is back with its 9th edition on Friday, 6th February 2026 at 10 am to discuss exam stress and
celebrate examinations as an Utsav and an integral part of life.
The event will be telecast on the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s YouTube channel, Doordarshan
(DD), and the Ministry of Education’s social media platforms. Additionally, the following OTT platforms,
such as WAVES OTT, Amazon Prime Video, Jio, ZEE5, Sony LIV, and Spotify (audio platform), will
stream Pariksha Pe Charcha live.
In alignment with NEP 2020, the PPC concept is aimed at reshaping the examination experience of
students by fostering confidence, positivity, and holistic well-being, and celebrating the exam season as a
Utsav. The Prime Minister has condensed his views in his book titled “Exam Warriors”, available in
multiple languages as well as Braille, where he has stressed belief in self and underscored the need to talk
about these issues so that our children have the fun-filled childhood they deserve.
Conceptualized by the Prime Minister, Pariksha Pe Charcha is dynamic and innovative, introducing fresh
elements every year. For the first time, PPC 2026 was introduced at multiple locations covering all parts
of the country. Besides Delhi, PPC 2026 was held in 4 (four) different locations - Coimbatore in Tamil
Nadu, Raipur in Chhattisgarh, Dev Mogra in Gujarat and Guwahati in Assam, covering the East, West,
North, South and Centre of the country.As part of the run-up to Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, student-centric engagement activities were organised
across schools nationwide, including the Swadeshi Sankalp Daud, a student-led run/walk promoting the
spirit of self-reliance, and quiz and writing competitions held at identified Kendriya Vidyalayas on
Parakram Diwas. Approximately 2.26 crore students participated in these activities.Over the years, the programme has evolved into a nationwide Jan Andolan, witnessing unprecedented
participation from students, parents, and teachers across the country. This year, the registrations for the
9th edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha have surpassed all previous benchmarks, with more than 4.50 crore
students, teachers, and parents registering through the MyGov portal. This overwhelming participation is a
testament to the continued support and shared commitment of all States and UTs as well as Autonomous
Bodies under Ministry of Education in advancing the objectives of this initiative in partnership with the
Ministry of Education. The spontaneous inclusion of more and more stakeholders with PPC, over time, is
a definite sign of the value that this programme is bringing in the lives of all.
As the Parikshas are approaching, #ParikshaPeCharcha is back too!
This time, the Charcha happened with #ExamWarriors in Devmogra, Coimbatore,
Raipur, Guwahati and at 7, LKM in Delhi. As always, it is refreshing to interact
with my young friends and discuss stress free exams… pic.twitter.com/HOEmDZI
