Pariksha Pe Charcha has become a jan andolan, writes the education minister, because it makes students feel heard and understood. In an AI age, this is both more challenging and more necessary than ever

As Pariksha Pe Charcha unfolds again this week, it marks a quiet yet decisive shift in Bharat’s educational journey. Launched under PM Modi’s leadership in 2018, the initiative has organically evolved into a jan andolan. A nationwide collective effort that places students’ holistic well-being at the centre, with parents and teachers active stakeholders in this shared responsibility.

The scale of engagement this year shows the initiative crossing from outreach to ownership. It’s got over 4.5cr registrations, surpassing the previous Guinness World Record. This unprecedented participation reflects a collective resolve to create an enabling environment in which every young mind can learn, grow, and truly flourish.
