Going for an exam with stress does not bode well. During exam we should begin with the easy questions. It boosts our confidence and helps us get accustomed: PM Modi tells students
We should never dream about becoming something. We should dream of doing something. That will help us to enjoy what we do: PM Modi
The stress is not due to exams but related to the ambition of becoming something. You think that if you fail the exam, you'd fail to become that. It is this tension: PM Modi
Exams shouldn't fear you, they should be given with a sense of belief. There's no bigger problem than to not give an exam out of fear. We must always be ready to step ahead. Failures will teach us for the next time: PM Modi
Studying early in the morning is suggested by many because lessons studied early in the morning are often retained in the memory. However, everyone has a different style and different comfort. If a student is comfortable studying during the night they should do so: PM
Video: PM Narendra Modi talks about the burden of expectations.
I want parents to accept that their children have grown up, but they must understand that their psyche to help them must never change or go away. Parents who allow their children to pursue things (if they are on the right track) are doing right thing: PM Modi
Every parent/teacher must think about how they behaved with the children when they were about 4-5 years old. You didn't pressurize them, you just motivated them. Did you slap them for trying to walk? No: PM Modi
Can we decide that in 2022, on the 75th years of independence, then me and my family will only buy 'Make in India' products, PM Modi appeals students. "Tell me whether it is our duty or not. This move will benefit the country and economy will be strengthened."
We shouldn't let water flow needlessly. We mustn't use electricity more than we need. We must not travel without tickets on trains. There are a lot of responsibilities that can help in the development of the entire country: PM Modi
Have you ever thought where will you be in 2047, at the completion of 100 years of India's independence? You'd be leading someone, somewhere in life. If you get a broken and dilapidated country when you become a leader, would you able to lead well?: PM
There's a fine connection between our rights and responsibilities. Our rights are directly dependent on the responsibilities performed by others. If a teacher performs his responsibility in the right way, the students' right to learn is secure: PM Modi
Arunachal Pradesh is the only state in India in which people greet each other with 'Jai Hind' whenever they meet each other. This is rare. I want all of you to go to the North East on vacation if you can. Our country is amazing. It must be experienced: PM
Social networking has gone down due to technology. Earlier, we used to celebrate and surprise our friends by seeing them physically. These days, we're wishing them virtually.
These days there is a common sight. Four members of a family are seated but each of them is on the phone. Can we think of a technology-free hour. There should be one room in the entire house that there shouldn't be no technology inside it. Life would be a new experience if you do this: PM Modi
Try to spend time with your mother, father, grandfather or grandmother by reducing 10 percent of the time that you spend on smartphones. We all must have a strong gut to not get driven by technoligies and use to as per your will: PM
The education that we receive from the system is the door to the world. While learning the alphabet, children enter a new world. Our education is just a way for us to learn new things. We need to keep it at the core of the routine and learn more: PM Modi
If you're not doing any extra activity, you'll turn into a robot. Do we want our youth to turn into robots? No! They are full of energy and dreams!: PM Modi
Not pursuing an co-curricular activities can make a person like a robot. Yes, this would require better time management. Today opportunities are many and I hope youngsters make use of them: PM Modi
What is not good is when the passion of the children becomes fashion statements for parents. Extra-curricular activities needn’t be glamour driven. Let each child pursue what he or she likes: PM Modi
PM Modi advises parents to not pressurise students about exams and entrance as the world is full of opportunities and they should not restrict their children to only school examinations.
A farmer may not be educated well, but he gets informed. He learns, he understands technology and makes his life better. We must rise above exams and we can move ahead in life with more options: PM Modi
PM Modi also gave an example of how the Indian Cricket Team won the match despite a demotivated situation. "Remember India-Australia Test series in 2001? Our team was facing setbacks and the mood wasn't great. But, we can never forget how Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman turned the match around. This is power of positive thinking and motivation," says PM.
I could not sit in peace. I summoned the PMO team and changed the schedule. I met the scientists early morning the next day. I shared my emotions with them and lauded their efforts. Basically, we can find an education about success in failures: PM Modi
I said I should go even more due to that. I could see a change on the faces of the scientists in the dying seconds. They came and informed me later. After about 10 mins, they told me it was not happening. I told them not to worry and then left: PM Modi
For example, Chandrayaan II. The entire country felt demotivated at its failure. At times, failure weakens us. I was present there as well. Some people had asked me not to go there because there was no surety: PM Modi
Youth should not feel demotivated. De-motivation is often a result of external factors. The problem arises when we have expectations from others and it does not get fulfilled. The students should put themselves in other's shoes to understand why their expectations were not fulfilled. There is rarely an individual who has not faced de-motivation in life because of failure: PM Modi
We often tend to ignore what our own parents or guardians or teachers say but listen to what an outsider says. I do this job acting as a friend and that is why I feel you all reciprocate: PM Modi
Referring to the social media trend #WithoutFilter, PM Modi asks students to raise questions without apprehensions.
Many parents must be tensed about their child's board results and hence, I felt that I should lighten their burden. I am also a member of your family and therefore I understand that I should also collectively fulfill this responsibility: PM Modi
Thousands of schools from the entire country participate in this and I feel how the youth of the country think and what they want to do: PM Modi
2020 is very important in students' life as well as for the country. Whatever the country does in this decade, the maximum contribution will come from students who will be taking board exams this year: PM Modi
I have been tied down to the government for a long time. I was a Chief Minister for a long time and now you all have given me this job. The job demands me to attend several events and meet different kinds of personalities. Every event is important in a different way since I get to learn something new. But if someone asked me which event is the closest to your heart, I will say it is Pariksha Pe Charcha: PM Modi
