UP CM's Three Key Messages to Students
In a letter to students, the Chief Minister shared three key messages.
Warning Against Chinese 'Manjha'
The Chief Minister advised them to stay away from Chinese 'manjha' (string), which is sharp-edged, banned across the state, and has caused fatalities. Students were asked to avoid using it, warn friends, and report any illegal sales to the police with family support.
Caution on Mobile Phone Addiction
The Chief Minister also cautioned against mobile phone addiction, highlighting that excessive gaming or video-watching wastes time, affects studies, and weakens eyesight. He encouraged students to read, play sports, spend time with family, and limit mobile use.
Focus on Discipline and Hard Work
For those giving board exams for classes X and XII, the CM advised students to remain disciplined, confident, and focused. Citing the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, he said, "A person has the right only over their actions, not their results," urging students to prioritise hard work and dedication.
The CM Yogi extended his best wishes to all students appearing in examinations and expressed hope that they would perform well and make their families and the state proud.
PM Modi's 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' Insights
Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with students during the 9th edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC). The Prime Minister had an informal interaction with Exam Warriors at his residence in New Delhi.
On Dreaming Big and Taking Action
A student from Ladakh asked whether children should dream big and how to begin fulfilling those dreams. The Prime Minister stated that not dreaming is a crime, but dreams must be backed by action. The PM explained that aspirations like becoming an astronaut require study, biographies, and focused interest, while cautioning against making dreams public to avoid ridicule. He encouraged students to write down their dreams and nurture them privately, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
The Value of Reading Biographies
Responding to another query on daily habits to achieve big dreams, PM Modi suggested reading biographies of great personalities. He explained that understanding their struggles and early steps helps students relate and gain confidence, showing them how to progress step by step.
