PM Modi on Friday cautioned students against the use of online betting gaming apps and urged them to use social media platforms carefully and judiciously.

While addressing the ‘exam warriors’ through “Pariksha Pe Charcha", the Prime Minister said, “No matter what your parents, or teachers, or peers say, have faith in and follow your pattern, keeping in mind all the suggestions that come your way."

“Our goal should always be within reach, but not easily achievable… Always stay a step ahead of your teacher. ‘Mann ko joto, fir mann ko jodo, aur fir padhai ke vishay rakho’," he added.

This is the ninth edition of the programme, and it has surpassed all previous records in terms of registration. Nearly 4.50 crore students, teachers and parents have registered for Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026.
