"This news from Jayapur in my Parliamentary Constituency is very heartening. Congrats to these youngsters. http://www.jagran.com/uttar-pradesh/varanasi-city," he posted. Earlier, extending his best wishes to the students appearing for their board exams, Prime Minister Modi had asked them to remain stress-free and not to take the test as a matter of life and death.

"Schools should hold Exam Utsavs with satires, cartoons and debates on the subject of examination itself. By doing so, the nervousness of students will disappear," he said. Prime Minister Modi requested the parents not to compare their children with others, as doing so causes stress among the kids.
