PM Modi’s Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025 Earns Guinness World Record for 3.53 Crore Registrations.

In August 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s annual interactive programme ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC)’ set a new milestone by securing a Guinness World Record with 3.53 crore valid registrations in a single month. The programme, held under the Ministry of Education and MyGov, promotes stress-free examination among students, teachers, and parents.

      - The 2025 edition marked the 8th edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC), which was first launched in 2018. PPC is an initiative under the Ministry of Education (MoE) where the Prime Minister engages in direct dialogue with students, parents, and teachers to discuss ways to reduce exam stress and promote holistic education.

      - This year, PPC achieved a new global feat with 3.53 crore valid registrations, making it the holder of the Guinness World Record for the most people registered on a citizen engagement platform in one month. Registrations were conducted through the MyGov platform—India’s premier citizen participation portal operated under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

      - The Guinness World Record certificate was formally awarded during an official event in New Delhi. Present at the event were Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of Education (MoE); Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister of Railways, Communications, Electronics and Information Technology; and Jitin Prasada, Minister of State for Education.

Main Point :-   (i) Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan highlighted that the 2025 edition of PPC had a combined viewership of over 21 crore people across television and digital platforms. He emphasized that this demonstrates the growing importance of public engagement in educational reform and aligns with the vision of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India).

      (ii) Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw commended the initiative for integrating technology into governance. He said PPC not only helps build exam preparedness but also strengthens emotional intelligence and mental well-being among students—key goals under Mission LIFE (Lifestyle for Environment) and Digital India campaigns.

(iii) Minister of State Jitin Prasada praised the MyGov platform for making the initiative digitally inclusive, calling it a benchmark of participatory governance. PPC has become a flagship tool of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) by promoting experiential learning, stress-free education, and a shift from rote learning to analytical thinking.
