In a series of tweets today, Modi said, "As our brave #ExamWarriors start padding up for their exams, ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha 2021’ returns, this time fully online and open to students all over the world. Come, let us appear for the exams with a smile and without stress! #PPC2021

The first edition of 'Pariksha Pe Charcha 1.0' was held at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi on February 16, 2018. It was followed by the second and third editions at the same venue on January 29, 2019 and January 20, last year.  

It is a much-awaited annual event where the Prime Minister responds to questions related to examination stress and related areas posed by students in his uniquely engaging style in a live programme.
