“Healthy competition augurs well for students” growth”

PM Modi encouraged parents to refrain from comparing their kids to one another. The prime minister showed an example of a video where students put mutual aid ahead of healthy competition. “Never plant seeds of rivalry and competition among your kids. Siblings ought to encourage one another instead.

“Teachers are not in a job role but they shoulder the responsibility of grooming the lives of students”

Shri Modi stressed the importance of progressively growing the student-teacher association. In addition, he pushed teachers to interact with pupils more than just the things they were teaching. The relationship between instructors and students needs to go beyond the curriculum and syllabus.
“Parents should not make report cards of their children as their visiting card”

The prime minister stressed avoiding overzealous parents or overly sincere pupils, as well as the necessity to avoid overstressing exam day with new attire, customs, or stationery. In addition, he urged the students to avoid doing unnecessary study until the very last minute, and approach tests with a calm attitude. Try writing answers as often as you can. The majority of the tension associated with exams will go if you have that practice.

“Technology should not become a burden. Use it judiciously”

He emphasized using mobile phones and technology wisely by using judgment-based decision-making. He emphasized setting a set of guidelines for the family, including no electronics during dinner and no designated areas for gadgets in the house.

“Healthy body is critical for a healthy mind”

He asked about obtaining regular, full sleep and spending time in the sun. He mentioned that maintaining a healthy lifestyle involves following certain habits. “Awake fully when awake and sound sleep while asleep, is a balance that can be achieved”, he said.

“If we have the capability, we can liven up anything”, Prime Minister Modi urged students to have faith in their own abilities. He also advised putting all of your effort and devotion into it.

“When there is no selfish motive, there is never confusion in decision”
