Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with 25 meritorious students from Assam on December 21 as part of the Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) 2026 programme. The 40-minute interaction will take place aboard the tourism cruise vessel MV Charaidew on the Brahmaputra river in Guwahati.
The initiative aims to reduce examination-related stress and encourage students to speak openly about academics, career aspirations, and mental well-being. The Prime Minister is scheduled to begin the day at around 8 am with the student interaction.
Following the session, Prime Minister Modi will visit the Shaheed Smarak at Boragaon in Guwahati. The recently inaugurated memorial is dedicated to over 800 martyrs of the Assam agitation.
Around noon, the Prime Minister will travel to Namrup and Dibrugarh. In Namrup, he will lay the foundation stone for the Assam Valley Fertilizer project. Officials said the required land for the project has been approved, and the fertilizer plant is expected to be completed within three to four years. The Prime Minister will later return to Delhi from Dibrugarh.
