Arjuna Awardee Akhil Kumar: Olympian boxer and Arjuna Awardee Akhil Kumar has lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' initiative, calling it a crucial step in reducing exam stress and motivating students to excel. He compared the initiative to PM Modi’s encouragement of athletes before major sporting events, stating that just as players benefit from motivation during competitions, students too can perform better with the right mindset.
“The Pariksha Pe Charcha is a very good initiative by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji to discuss exams. This is very important. This will keep students stress-free, and their results will improve. Prior to this, PM Modi ji used to motivate players during the Olympic Games, Asian Games, and Commonwealth Games, ensuring they stayed inspired to deliver their best performances,” said Akhil Kumar.
The eighth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha commenced on Monday at Sunder Nursery in New Delhi, drawing participation from students, teachers, and parents nationwide. The event, aimed at reducing exam anxiety and fostering a positive approach to learning, was broadcast live across multiple platforms.
