NEW DELHI. The ninth edition of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s flagship student interaction programme, Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, marked a major milestone by evolving into a truly pan-India initiative, engaging students from across the country. Breaking away from its traditional single-venue format in Delhi, the Prime Minister interacted directly with students from Coimbatore, Raipur, Dev Mogra and Guwahati, symbolically connecting all regions of India on one platform.
The programme, guided by the Prime Minister’s vision, continues to bring students, parents, teachers and society together to promote stress-free learning and holistic development.
Reflecting its growing reach and impact, over 4.5 crore people registered for PPC 2026, while 2.26 crore actively participated in related activities, taking total engagement beyond 6.76 crore. Since its launch in 2018, Pariksha Pe Charcha has grown into a nationwide movement, offering guidance on examinations, mental well-being and personal growth. Building on the record-setting global participation and innovative formats of previous editions, PPC 2026 reinforces the message of joyful learning and aims to further strengthen a culture of confidence and positivity among students across India.
Recognised by Guinness World Records for achieving 3.53 crore registrations in 2025, Pariksha Pe Charcha now returns with its 2026 edition, aiming to further strengthen the message of joyful learning and promote a culture of stress-free examinations across the country.
