Pariksha Pe Charcha
Meghalaya will participate in the 8th Edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) 2025, a unique initiative where students, parents, and teachers get the opportunity to interact with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event will be held in a town-hall format at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, in January next year. It may be mentioned that in January of 2023, Langsongding Khuptong, a Class XII student of St. Edmund’s School, Shillong, and Owen Kharsawain, a Class X student of Shullai Progressive School, Mawroh, Shillong, represented the state. In the upcoming edition, an online participation competition is open to students, parents, and teachers. Participants must answer multiple choice questions (MCQs) and frame questions to be addressed to the Prime Minister. The competition, conducted by NCERT, will take place from December 14 to January 14 on the official portal (https://innovateindia1.mygov.in).
