On Monday, 29 January 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked students to maintain a balanced lifestyle and to generate a healthy competitive spirit.

Addressing parents during his annual 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' programme, he emphasized on the need for a "no gadget zone" inside homes, advocating for quality family time without the interference of technology.

PM Modi highlighted the importance of "recharging" not only electronic gadgets but also our bodies, drawing attention to the correlation between mobile phones needing charging and individuals requiring proper sleep.

He remarked, "If your mobile requires to be charged, then shouldn't you keep your body charged as well… For this, getting proper sleep is extremely important."

"There should be a 'no gadget area' inside the home. When students are with their family, sitting at the dining table there should be no use of cell phones," he added.

The prime minister explained that the stress on students is of three types---induced by peer pressure, by parents and self-induced.

"At times children put pressure on themselves that they are not performing well.

I suggest that you should set small goals during preparation and gradually improve your performance, this way you will be completely ready before your exams," he said.

Describing students as the shapers of India's future, PM Modi said the 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' programme is like an examination for him as well.
