"Scoring high marks in the exam is not the ultimate guide to success. You will see that many people who are popular in their field did not do well in their exams. Even the average students do well in their lives. One should not focus just on scoring high grades, but to give their best in the exam and pass," PM Modi said.

PM Modi while concluding his address, he said, "I want to give you a task in which you all have to pass with 100% marks. This task is to make India self-reliant. Make a list of things you use in your daily lives and know the origin country of the products. Make sure that you use Made-in-India products as much as possible."

Talking about the Coronavirus pandemic that has affected the studies of students he said, "Sometimes, we have to face the troubles we are not responsible for. The pandemic was one of those situations. Children have suffered a lot due to the pandemic as they were not allowed to step out and attend schools for nearly one year. You must have missed a lot of things during the lockdown. But, you must have also earned a lot of lessons during the pandemic. People have realized the importance of people around us during the lockdown. Nothing should be taken for granted. This lesson should be learnt and one should never foget it event after the pandemic is over," PM said. 

"During the lockdown, people have got the time to introspect. Coronavirus forced us to maintain social distancing but brought family members together. People have understood the importance of their family members and their contributions to our lives. I would like to suggest the researchers study it. Even, the benefits of traditional Kadhas were discovered during the pandemic," he added.

"Go to the exam hall with full confidence and a cool mind to avoid stress. If you are stressed inside the exam hall, you will forget everything you have learned. You should remember that you have prepared for the exam very well and you will be able to write your paper smoothly. Leave your stress outside the exam hall," PM Modi said. 

"Students should do the activities mentioned in the updated edition of 'Exam Warrior' book and NaMo app. These activities will boost your confidence to write the exam well," he added.

"When you are fully involved with 100% focus on a topic you will be able to memorize it. When you associate yourself and visualize everything you read, it will be easier for you to memorize the topics," PM Modi advised a student who asked on how to sharpen the memory power.

"Parents should not try to raise their children like they were raised. The world is constantly changing and the up-bringing should be done accordingly. You should not pressurize your children to be like you. This will create conflicts between you and your children," PM Modi advised parents.

"Thinking about future after class 10th or 12th boards is normal. Students tend to follow the reel life as shown in films and serial. The world is not that small. The fast-changing world has brought a variety of opportunities. We should not limit our curiosity. When you are in class 10th or 12th, learn to observe the surroundings to know the variety of jobs, nature of the profession, upgrade your skills and make yourself eligible to bag the opportunity. Students should not focus just on earning a lot of money. It is ok to dream but one should work towards fulfilling your dream.," PM Modi said.

"Free time is a treasure. One should utilize their free time to address their curiosity or do something poetry. Invest the free time in your hobby like painting, singing, dancing etc. Students should also interact with their siblings or friends in their free time," PM Modi said.

"Children learn the values from their parents only. They do what they see. For example, we say that there should not be any discrimination between sons and daughters. It is one of our values. In Hindu mythology, equal importance is given to the Lords and Lordesses. Similarly, we should give equal treatment to sons and daughters. But, if parents discriminate between them, then the sons grow up with a mentality of treating women to be weaker than men. This happens because children become what they see. So, to inculcate good values in them, parents should bring it to action," PM said.

"Teachers should not criticize a student publicly in front of other students. They should interact with the student personally and encourage them. Teachers should tell the students that you are good with this subject or topic, but also work on these weaker areas," PM Modi advised the teachers.

"Likes and dislikes are human nature. Just like you have one or two favourite shirts in your wardrobes which you wear more frequently, similarly, there are few favourite subjects. However, when we like one or two subjects only, we become comfortable with these. But this leads to fear among students for other subjects. You must focus on all subjects equally. It is said that students should attempt the easier subjects or easier questions first. But, I advise that try to attempt the tougher questions first because your mind is fresh and your ability to solve the tough questions will be more. Later, after your mind is tired, solving the easier questions will also be ok for you," PM Modi said.

"No one is expert in all subjects. One should also focus on strengthening their talents. For example, the famous singer Lata Didi (Lata Mangeshkar) is an expert singer. But, if one tells her to teach a subject say Geography, she might not be able to teach it perfectly. But a teacher of the particular subject will be able to teach in a better way because he/she is an expert in it," PM Modi said while advising a student to work on their strong areas.

"There is nothing to be stressed about. You are not appearing for an exam for the first time in life. It was already known that you will have to appear for the board exam. The stress is not about exams but the environment and your surroundings have created pressure. Your family members or relatives create a pressure that board exam is very important that makes the students over conscious and stressed. The exam is not the end of your life. It is just a milestone that you have to cross. Ignore the external pressure which will boost your confidence," PM Modi said. 

He also advised the parents to work on the strength and weaknesses of their children and be actively involved in their preparation for board exams. The busy life of parents restricts them from getting involved with them during their exam preparation."
