Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently holding an interaction with students, teachers and parents in the second edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha. Addressing the gathering, Mr Modi said life is about dealing with challenges resolutely. He advised students to listen to their parents’ counsel with full attention to avoid confrontation. Mr Modi advised students not to lose hope after failing in their exams. Mr Modi cautioned parents against imposing their will on their children, but encourage them in their own pursuits. He requested the parents not to fulfil their unfulfilled dreams through their children. He said every child has his or her own potential and strengths, adding that it is important to understand this.
