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 ."

"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.

"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.

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