write a question of your choice related to dealing with examination system that you ask the prime minister(500 words)
Answers
"This is not the programme of PM Modi. It is the programme of crores of students across the country," said the PM.
At the event, the PM answered important questions from students, parents, and teachers from all over the country and shared important tips on how to deal with examination stress.
Following are the questions asked by the students:
1How can students deal with nervousness during exams, inspite of being prepared?
PM Modi answered:
"There is no negligence in the effort. Parents, teachers and students are all putting in their honest effort. What happens during exams is that even after preparation, you remember the content, but you simply cannot remember the word!"
2What steps can be taken by students when they are easily distracted during their studies?
PM Modi reminded students that concentration is not as unattainable a factor as it is made to seem. Each of us can concentrate extremely well in certain actions, such as overhearing a favourite song after which our entire focus shifts to that melody, lyrics and even its video. "You need to realise what are the reasons and factors that make this shift happen. If you can grab this recipe, you can apply the same method in different areas of life!" he said.
He added that many might say that they are unable to memorise, but goes on to remind them that if someone says something bad to us, we tend to remember it more. So the problem doesn't lie with one's memory. Something that touches us deeply in some way can be easily memorised and remembered.
3What is your take on the effect of peer pressure on students which takes away the beauty of friendship and instead pushes students to compete with their peers?
Modi said that as per the science of war or sports, we need to play on our own ground. He advised that as an independent, separate person, it is not correct to compare oneself with a peer who is a different person. The other person's environment, experiences and growth are completely different. He told the students that one of the biggest problems is not knowing or understanding oneself.
This makes them follow others blindly. This way students cannot attain their own individual goals and talents, become sad, dejected and then get scolded by their parents.
He told the students that this is why they need to understand themselves completely and friends can actually help in this regard.
4How can we change the mentality of majority of parents who believe studying is just for earning?
The PM informed that surprisingly there were probably as many teachers who asked him how they could change the mentality of students. Modi requested the students to understand that one of the primary motives of parents is to see their children rise. They sacrifice much for the happiness of their children and students need to understand where their feelings are coming from.
He also told the audience about the other kind of parents who are unable to achieve their own dreams because of some reason and so, try to transplant them into their children.
5How can one focus better during exams when there are so many distractions?
"If you want to focus more, you have to learn how to DE-FOCUS. If you want to keep filling a vessel, you also need to know how to empty it," said the PM. So, it is essential that you don't keep mulling over exams, failure and marks for 24x7, he said.
He told students that even in his exam days, he went for a dip in the village pond every day. It is extremely important for us to be in touch with the five basic elements and nature.
He laments the fact that these days students stop the usage of mobiles, chats, sports and everything during exams. This method doesn't allow one to defocus, and without it, it is simply not possible to attain full focus.
