The Ministry of Education officially announced this achievement, highlighting the overwhelming response from students, teachers, and parents who actively participated in the event.

It is now not just a pre-exam interaction, but a cultural moment that encourages young minds to see learning as a lifelong journey rather than a high-stakes race. As students across India gear up for the next academic season, the legacy of Pariksha Pe Charcha continues to grow—both in terms of reach and impact.
