The Ministry of Education has rolled out the National Education Policy, 2020 with several new initiatives in areas of curricula, examination reforms, student-friendly classrooms, art-integrated learning, toy-based pedagogy etc. Pariksha pe Charcha is also an integral part of the reforms to help students face exams more confidently and in a joyful manner.
In order to transform Pariksha pe Charcha into a Jan Andolan, the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has requested the Chief Ministers of all the States and Administrators of UTs to make the ‘Exam Warriors’ books available in libraries of each school under Samagra Shiksha so that a maximum number of students, teachers and parents get benefit from the Prime Minister’s words of wisdom and vision.
