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 awarded the Guinness World Record for the “Most people registered on a Citizen Engagement Platform in one month.”
This milestone recognises 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 distinctive global platform conceptualised and led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where he directly engages with students, teachers, and parents.
The initiative transforms the examination season into a festival of positivity, preparation and purposeful learning, encouraging a culture where exams are seen as moments for motivation rather than anxiety.
The official Guinness World Record certificate was formally presented during a ceremony in New Delhi.
The occasion was attended by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan; Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology, Railways and Information & Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw; Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Jitin Prasada; Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy Sanjay Kumar; CEO of MyGov Nand Kumarum; and senior officials from the Ministries of Education and Electronics & IT, along with other stakeholders.
The record was validated and announced by Rishi Nath, official adjudicator of Guinness World Records.
Speaking at the event, Dharmendra Pradhan said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pariksha Pe Charcha has redefined India’s approach to examinations by transforming stress into a festival of learning. Pradhan highlighted that the 8th edition of PPC saw a total viewership of over 21 crore across all media platforms in 2025.
He added that the overwhelming participation demonstrates the nation’s shared commitment to holistic and inclusive education in line with the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
Addressing the gathering, Ashwini Vaishnaw described Pariksha Pe Charcha as a unique initiative by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that unites students, parents, and teachers to promote well-being and stress-free learning.
He underlined the vast range of career prospects open to students in this Amrit Kaal and said that the Guinness World Record for highest registrations reflects the strong public trust in the programme.
Jitin Prasada also praised MyGov for its role in strengthening participatory governance. He noted that the Guinness World Record demonstrates how MyGov has effectively used technology to deepen citizen engagement and expand the reach of Pariksha Pe Charcha nationwide.
NEP 2020 places emphasis on stress-free and joyful learning, advocating a shift away from rote memorisation towards developing critical thinking skills through experiential learning.
Since its launch, Pariksha Pe Charcha has grown into a national movement that turns examinations into opportunities for self-expression and personal development.
Through direct interactions, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses key concerns such as time management, digital distractions, mindfulness, and emotional resilience, offering practical advice and motivation to students, parents, and teachers alike.
The success of PPC 2025 is a shared accomplishment, and Ministers have extended appreciation to all stakeholders, educational institutions and citizens who contributed to this achievement. The commitment to strengthening participatory governance and holistic education remains firm.
