With crucial final and board examinations just round the corner, Prime Minister Narindra Modi has penned a book asking students, parents and teachers to turn into “Exam Warriors, Not Worriers”.
A compilation of the PM’s conversation on the subject of examination and academic stress in his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programmes, the 193-page book contains 25 Modi mantras, illustrations, anecdotes and activity chapters among others.
Revise and Be Wise, Failure is Not Final, Compete With Yourself, Practice Yoga Regularly and To Cheat is To Cheap are a few of the mantras shared in the book with students. In the book, he has also asked the students to take a pledge against cheating.
Launching the book, HRD Minister Prakash Javdekar said the book would help the students in beating the examinations stress.
Quoting from Aamir Khan’s successful movie “Three Idiot”, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj elaborated upon the PM’s Mantra to “Compete with Yourself”.
Interestingly, election fever seemed to preoccupy Swaraj’s mind who twice mistakenly referred to examinations as elections. And then drew an analogy that political parties have to ask the Election Commission to postpone elections during March-April because of the scheduled exams.
Promising to be an exam warrior, a Class XII student Kalpana Jehangir spoke about the influence of the book one her on the occasion.
