The 9th edition of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s annual interactive programme, ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha,’ has seen unprecedented registration numbers. As of January 8, 2026, over 4 crore students, teachers, and parents have signed up. This surpasses last year’s record of 3.53 crore, which had already earned a Guinness World Record.
With the upcoming board exams (PPC 2026), students nationwide are eager to interact directly with PM Modi and gain stress management tips. Students make up the majority of registrations, with approximately 3.75 crore participants. Additionally, over 2 crore teachers and more than 500,000 parents have shown interest. This initiative by the central government aims to help students view exams as a “celebration” rather than a “stress.”
Registration for Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 is open on the official website, innovateindia1.mygov.in, until January 11, 2026. PM Modi has encouraged students via social media, expressing his eagerness to connect with the “Exam Warriors.” Students from grades 6 to 12, their teachers, and parents are eligible to apply.
As of January 8, 2026, the latest registration figures for Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 are as follows:
Total participants: 40,581,955
Students (Class 6 to 12): 37,751,681
Teachers: 2,300,231
Parents: 530,043
This data clearly shows that teachers and parents, along with students, are recognising the importance of children’s mental health during exams.
A special attraction for students this year is the ‘Golden Ticket.’ A total of 10 ‘Legendary Exam Warriors’ selected through the competition will have the opportunity to visit the Prime Minister’s residence and meet PM Modi in person. Additionally, about 2,500 winners will receive special certificates and ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ kits, along with a book titled ‘Exam Warriors,’ written by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
