Jammu: Counselling Cell, Directorate of School Education Jammu organised a mega webinar on PPC-21 in which more than 10000 stakeholders were sensitized about the registration process and other formalities required to participate in the coming virtual interaction programme with Prime Minister of India, Pariksha Pe Charcha – 2021.
The webinar was conducted through ICT labs all across the schools (HS& HSS) of Jammu division.
Pariksha Pe Charcha is part of the larger movement – ‘Exam Warriors’, to create a stress-free atmosphere for youngsters. It is a movement that is driven by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to foster an environment where the unique individuality of each child is celebrated, encouraged and allowed to express itself fully. The Prime Minister outlined a refreshing approach to education through his path breaking and bestselling book Exam Warriors. He urged everyone to put exams in the right perspective, to make learning an enjoyable, fulfilling and endless journey.

Advisories in news papers, video messages, sessions with experts were already being used continuously for sensitization of all concerned.
Director School Education Jammu, Anuradha Gupta while wishing good luck to the students asked them to be natural and true to themselves while submitting their entries because the themes inolved were very much related to everyday life.

In the deliberations held, she categorically asked the concerned officials to focuss on minimum five registration from each high and higher secondary school and requested HOIs to encourage teachers and parents also to participate in large numbers.
