Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025 will take place on February 10 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, providing students with a unique opportunity to interact with PM Modi.
The much-awaited eighth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) 2025 is set to take place on February 10 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Registration for PPC 2025 began on December 14, 2024, and concluded on January 14, 2025, with lakhs of eager students signing up for the opportunity to interact with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This year, some of the most influential personalities will join PM Modi to guide students on managing exam stress, making career choices, and dealing with societal pressure.
As part of this initiative, there will be eight podcast episodes where these prominent figures will share their insights with students. The lineup includes:
- Sadhguru
- Deepika Padukone
- Mary Kom
- Avani Lekhara
- Rujuta Diwekar
- Sonali Sabharwal
- FoodPharmer
- Vikrant Massey
- Bhumi Pednekar

- Radhika Gupta
Spiritual leader Sadhguru will provide insights on stress management and mindfulness, while Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone will speak about mental health. Additionally, boxing legend Mary Kom and Paralympic gold medalist Avani Lekhara will share their experiences of overcoming challenges in life.
PM Modi will continue his special interactions with students. On Monday, he had an informal chat with 30-40 students at Sundar Nursery in Delhi, discussing exams and stress related to studies. He highlighted the importance of a student-first approach in education rather than focusing only on rankings.
This year, around 2,500 selected students will attend the event, and all participants will receive PPC kits from the education ministry. The top 10 ‘Legendary Exam Warriors’ will get a special opportunity to visit the Prime Minister’s residence, making it a unique and inspiring experience.
During the event, PM Modi will answer questions from selected students, giving them a chance to interact with him directly.
Pariksha Pe Charcha started in 2018 as part of PM Modi’s vision for stress-free and holistic education. Inspired by his book Exam Warriors, the event aims to boost students’ confidence rather than increase their anxiety. Over the years, it has evolved with new technologies and interactive features to stay engaging and meaningful.
This year’s 8th edition has seen a record-breaking 3.6 crore registrations, including 3.3 crore students, 2.7 lakh teachers, and 5.5 lakh parents.
