For the first time, students from 81 foreign countries participated in the ‘Pariksha Par Charcha’ creative writing contest.

The Education Minister further said that ‘Pariksha Par Charcha’ is a unique programme in the world where the Prime Minister of any country connects directly with the crores of students at one time.

“This is the first major example in the world that the Prime Minister of any country will communicate directly with crores of students, parents, and teachers. The exam takes place at every step of life but when there is an exam especially the board exam there is tension,” Pokhriyal said.
