Concern of Students and Teachers Over Online Education

- Both students and teachers asked questions, PM Modi, on online education. 

Talking over it, PM said that online education is challenging. How to improve it?
Jokingly, PM asked - Do you study or watch reels when you are online? 
Prime Minister said that the blame is not online or offline. When your mind is somewhere else, you failed to focus on your education. PM said the issue is not the online or offline examination. Online education should not be considered a problem but an opportunity. The problem is not the medium but the mind is. Online is to get and offline is an opportunity. It is important to connect with yourself in life. Instead of offline-online, stay in the inner-line for some time during the day.

No Special Formula for Motivation

Talking over the motivational trick, Prime Minister said there is no special formula designed for motivation. PM Modi directed students to first observe themselves which things demotivate them.

How to get rid of the problem of forgetting answers during the exam

PM Modi emphasised over the skill of focusing while studying. The greatest gift of nature is the Present. One should learn to live it. Memory is the most important thing in the extension of life.

Proper Utilisation of Time

When students asked questions about time management skills, Prime Minister Narendra Modi advised students to analyse themselves on regular basis.
