A book authored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for students facing exams was launched on 3rd of February by HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in New Delhi.
- The book, titled ‘Exam Warriors’, aims to get through to students across the country on the threshold of examinations, and hopes to help them thread the needle with ease.
- The PM often addresses the concerns of students on his radio show ‘Mann ki Baat’. He also holds a special student-centric show before the board exams. The idea for the book stemmed from there, as the PM decided to make a compilation of his thoughts on the matter, coupled with his thoughts on the subject as well as relatable anecdotes.
- The book will be translated in multiple languages and will be made available across the country. The book is 208 pages thick and is being published by Penguin Randon House India.
- In the book, the PM has penned down almost 25 mantras for students as well as their parents and teachers on how to tackle exams without stress and anxiety.
- The book highlights issues of importance to students such as coping with exam related stress, keeping calm during exams as well as what to do after the exams get over, a statement by the publishing house reads.
- As the book has been written keeping young audiences in mind, it reads in an informal and conversational manner. It has also addressed issues such as prioritizing knowledge over marks and how to grapple with becoming responsible for the future
- The cover of the book was released a few days ago. It shows PM Modi waving a flag with the colours of the national flag while a bunch of children and a pet play in the foreground.
- The last 40 pages of the book puts together several asanas of yoga, and asked students to practice them to overcome stress and be fit.
- PM Modi is scheduled to interact with school and college students where he is likely to address exam-related concerns.
- Addressing 3,500 students in the national capital’s Talkatora Stadium, the PM, on February 16, will answer pre-recorded questions for which a website will soon be launched.
