Guinness Record for Citizen Participation
PM Modi’s Pariksha Pe Charcha Breaks Global Record: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) has set a Guinness World Record with 3.53 crore registrations on the MyGov platform. The recognition marks the highest number of people registered on a citizen engagement platform in a month. This milestone places India on the global map for participatory education reforms.
The certificate was awarded in New Delhi in the presence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, and Minister of State Jitin Prasada, among other dignitaries.
Static GK fact: Guinness World Records was founded in 1955 and remains a global authority on record-breaking achievements.
Stress-Free Exams Through Dialogue
Initiated in 2018, Pariksha Pe Charcha is a unique platform where the Prime Minister interacts with students, teachers, and parents. The aim is to reduce exam stress and turn examination periods into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
The 2025 edition saw over 21 crore viewers across various media platforms, reinforcing the program’s national reach and popularity.
Static GK Tip: The MyGov platform was launched in 2014 to enable citizen engagement in governance and policy-making.
Vision of NEP 2020 in Action
PPC is in full alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which encourages stress-free, experiential, and student-centric learning. PM Modi uses this platform to discuss:
- Time management techniques
- Handling digital distractions
- Emotional resilience during exams
- Mindfulness and concentration strategies
These insights are practical and inclusive, addressing students, teachers, and parents alike.
A National Movement, Not Just an Event
What began as an annual conversation has now evolved into a nationwide educational movement. Pariksha Pe Charcha underlines a shift in public attitude toward exams—moving from fear to enthusiasm. It emphasizes that exams are a step forward, not an end in themselves.
Amrit Kaal, India’s journey toward becoming a developed nation by 2047, includes building a robust and inclusive education system. PPC contributes to this vision by fostering holistic well-being and educational awareness.
Static GK fact: NEP 2020 replaced the 1986 education policy and introduced reforms like 5+3+3+4 structure, coding from class 6, and emphasis on mother tongue instruction.
