The eighth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha, the interaction program, will be held in a new format this season, spanning eight episodes. The program is scheduled to be held on the 10th of this month at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
In a statement, the Education Ministry said that under the new format of the program, renowned personalities from diverse fields will interact with students and share their experiences and knowledge. The Ministry informed that in this program, 36 students from each State and Union Territory have been selected from various schools to interact directly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It added that in the first episode, the Prime Minister will interact with the students.
The program will be telecast live on Doordarshan, Swayam, Swayam Prabha, the PMO YouTube channel, and the social media channels of the Education and Information and Broadcasting Ministries. Pariksha Pe Charcha is an interactive program wherein students, parents, and teachers from India and overseas interact with the Prime Minister to discuss and overcome the stress emerging from examinations to celebrate life as a Utsav.
School students in classes 6 to 12, teachers, and parents will be selected through an online competition for the program. This year, the Ministry received over 3.5 crore participants from students, teachers, and parents.
