"COVID-19 has taught us not to take anything for granted. We have understood each other better during this year. It has helped the emotional bonding of each family," said PM Modi.

PM Modi tells a student from Delhi to leave his stress and worry outside the examination hall. He says, "There are many ways to deal with exam stress in my book, Exam Warriors." 

Your focus should be on answering the questions and not whether something new will come. There are a lot of activities to give exams without stress. Many of these activities are available on the Exam Warrior book and the NAMO app," said PM Modi.

Students should not attempt to "memorise" what they learn, but "internalise", PM Modi tells a students from Pushkar, in Rajasthan, asking why her friends struggle to remember what they have studied.

"Delete this thought from your mind that your memory is weak. In reality, you remember a lot of things like your mother tongue. The things you like, the things you have no effort at remembering because those have become a part of your live that you never like. This is not about memory but about internalizaiton," PM Modi said on PPC Live.

A mother asks PM Modi about her children eating junk food. He wonders if it is not possible to have a game on good food that children can play once a week. He finally quips with a laugh, "However, this is somewhat outside my syllabus".  

"It's good to see dreams but to sit with those dreams and to sleep for those dreams is not right. Students should move forward from their dreams and work on how to achieve them." said PM Modi on PPC Live.

"Children are very smart. It is difficult to say what you will or will not do, but there is every possibility that what you are doing, he looks at it very closely and is tempted to repeat it," prime minister on Pariksha Pe Charcha live.

"We make certain parameters and certain dreams and make our children instruments to fulfill the parents' dreams. When the children are unable to fulfill parents' dreams they say their children have a loss of motivation and inspiration," PM Modi said on PPC Live.

"Don't try to impose values on children," PM Modi to parents.

"First you should self evaluate whether it so that when you see your children live a life that is different from one that you chose for yourself then you think  values are going down. This is not so," PM Modi told a concerned parent.

"Creativity takes you much farther than knowledge can," prime minister Narendra Modi said.

"Use free time to improve curiosity and to find out something to do that will be more productive. Something that will help you with your individuality like sports, music, painting, etc.," prime minister Narendra Modi said.

"You are focussing on free-time even during exams. free-time is not free, it is a treasure, it is an opportunity," said PM Modi answering a students' question on utilising free time.

"Talk to students about non-academic stuff and guide them rather than scolding them," PM Modi to teachers
