Pariksha Pe Charcha

2026

Led by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC)’ fills
the hearts of millions of students with enthusiasm and joy every year.
With over 4.5 crore registrations from students, parents, and teachers
for its latest 9th edition, and an additional 2.26 crore participants
engaging in associated activities, making overall participation over
6.76 crore individuals, PPC has now become a Jan Andolan. The
registrations have surpassed the Guinness World Record of 3.53 crore
registrations recorded last year in PPC 2025.
Organised by the Department of School Education and Literacy
under the Ministry of Education, ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ is designed to
address students’ exam-related stress, emotional resilience, holistic
development and a healthy and balanced approach to learning. The
initiative encourages students to ‘be a warrior, and not a worrier’ and
views examinations not as a burden but as an Utsav and an opportunity
for growth and self-discovery.
