Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Pariksha Pe Charcha initiative has entered the Guinness World Record for "most people registered on a citizen engagement platform in one month", the Ministry of Education (MoE) announced on Monday, reported the PTI.

According to officials, 3.53 crore valid registrations were received during the eighth edition of the programme.

PM Modi directly interacts with students, teachers, and parents as part of the Pariksha Pe Charcha initiative, which aims to transform the examination season "into a festival of positivity, preparation, and purposeful learning", making exams a time for encouragement rather than stress.
