New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's interaction programme "Pariksha Pe Charcha 2020" with a cross-section of students and teachers from India and abroad to beat exam stress has been rescheduled to January 20, 2020, at 11 am, on account of Pongal, Makar Sankranti, Lohri, Onam and other festivals across the country, according to a government statement. The programme was earlier scheduled to be held on January 16, 2020.
Students, teachers and parents participate in the unique event with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm as they receive valuable tips from the Prime Minister, who is keen to ensure that students take exams in a relaxed atmosphere and don't come under stress.
