During Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged parents to stop comparing their children with others and instead support their unique strengths.

PM Modi highlighted how constant comparison adds unnecessary stress to students. He advised parents to focus on nurturing individual talents rather than pressuring children to meet societal expectations.

PM Modi emphasized that learning is more important than just scoring marks. Using a cricket analogy, he encouraged students to focus on the process rather than the outcome, just like a batsman who plays each ball without worrying about the final score.

To address stress, PM Modi compared it to a pressure cooker, emphasizing that students should be able to express their emotions freely. He encouraged parents to create a supportive environment at home where children feel heard and valued.
