New Delhi, February 9: Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with students from Coimbatore during the second episode of the ninth edition of ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha.’ He expressed his admiration for the energy and curiosity of Tamil Nadu’s students.
At the beginning of this episode, PM Modi noted that this year’s program is unique. Many students suggested that ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ should take place in various parts of the country. Consequently, he decided to engage with students from different regions, starting with those in Coimbatore.
While addressing the Coimbatore Students, PM Modi stated, “For several years, I have been conversing with students from classes 10 to 12 through ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha.’ I learn from them. Whenever I meet people, they talk about startups.”
He emphasized the importance of knowing what students want to pursue. For instance, some startups focus on technology. If students have friends who are experts in different fields, they can collaborate to start a small venture.
PM Modi offered advice to students, saying, “Discipline and motivation are both crucial in life. Without discipline, no amount of inspiration will be helpful. Discipline is essential; it complements inspiration. Without it, inspiration can become a burden and lead to disappointment.”
Responding to a student’s query about balancing studies and passion, PM Modi advised, “Do not separate your studies from your passion. For example, if you are interested in art but studying a science topic, start creating related artwork. This way, you can practice both.”
When a student asked how young people can contribute to a ‘developed India,’ PM Modi praised her question. He said, “I am pleased that school students are thinking about a developed India. To become a developed nation by 2047, we must not only talk but also adopt the habits of developed countries.”
He illustrated this by mentioning the importance of cleanliness and adherence to rules. “If I do this, it means I am contributing,” he added.
