The much-awaited eighth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) 2025 is scheduled to be held on February 10 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. It will be guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give students advice on exam stress, career choices, and societal pressure.

This year's PPC will be witnessed by visiting influential people from every walk of life as guest speakers, sharing their views in eight podcast episodes. Some of the prominent speakers are Sadhguru, Deepika Padukone, Mary Kom, Avani Lekhara, Rujuta Diwekar, Sonali Sabharwal, FoodPharmer, Vikrant Massey, Bhumi Pednekar, Technical Guruji, and Radhika Gupta.

Spiritual leader Sadhguru will talk about stress management and mindfulness, while Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone will talk about mental health issues. In addition, boxing legend Mary Kom and Paralympic gold medalist Avani Lekhara will talk about overcoming life's challenges.
On Monday, PM Modi sat down for an informal chat with 30-40 students at Sundar Nursery, Delhi, discussing study-related stress and underlining a student-first approach over academic rankings.

2,500 selected students will be attending the event, and all participants will be given PPC kits by the Education Ministry. The top 10 'Legendary Exam Warriors' will be granted a special opportunity to visit the Prime Minister's residence.

Since its inception in 2018, PPC has aimed to create a stress-free and holistic learning environment for students, inspired by PM Modi’s book Exam Warriors. The initiative continues to evolve, incorporating new technologies and interactive features to remain engaging and relevant.

This year, 3.6 crore registrations have been recorded in the edition, which includes 3.3 crore students, 2.7 lakh teachers, and 5.5 lakh parents. During the event, PM Modi will directly communicate with the students by answering their questions and motivating them before the exams.

With such a rich lineup of speakers and record-breaking participation, Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025 is going to be an enriching and inspiring experience for all the students across the nation.
