PM Narendra Modi’s Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025 conferred with Guinness World Record for this achievement
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s flagship initiative, Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC), which has been successfully organised by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with MyGov since 2018, has been conferred with the Guinness World Record for the “Most people registered on a Citizen Engagement Platform in one month.”
This recognition celebrates the unprecedented achievement of 3.53 crore valid registrations received during the 8th edition of the programme, hosted on the MyGov platform.
Pariksha Pe Charcha is a unique global platform conceptualised and led by PM Narendra Modi, where he directly interacts with students, teachers, and parents.
The initiative transforms the examination season into a festival of positivity, preparation, and purposeful learning, making exams a time for encouragement rather than stress.

8th edition of PPC saw a total of 21+ crore viewership
Pradhan informed that the 8th edition of PPC saw a total of 21+ crore viewership across all media platforms in 2025. The overwhelming participation in PPC 2025 is seen as a reflection of the country’s collective commitment to holistic and inclusive education and alignment with the vision of a Viksit Bharat, he added.
NEP 2020 lays emphasis on stress-free and joyful learning. It encourages moving away from learning-by-rote to developing critical cognitive skills based upon experiential learning.
The success of PPC 2025 is a collective achievement, and all stakeholders, educational institutions, and citizens who contributed to this milestone have been appreciated by the Ministers.
The programme’s inclusivity, digital reach, and innovative approaches ensure its continued success as a cornerstone of student engagement in India. With each passing year, PPC reinforces the message that exams are not the end but a beginning.
