With the exam season approaching, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will reach out to students through his monthly radio broadcast 'Mann ki Baat' this month for which he has sought inputs from those appearing for the board exams and their parents.
"Was thinking about this month's radio programme and thought...Why not share 'Mann Ki Baat' with students preparing for board and competitive exams," he tweeted.
The programme is aired on a Sunday every month but the date for February is yet to be announced.
"I urge students, parents and teachers to share exam experiences that would inspire youngsters and even motivate them in exam preparation," the Prime Minister said.
"Like always, I will share some of your thoughts, inputs & anecdotes during the programme," he added.
The board exams will start in March and this period is usually tense for those appearing for the tests.
The Prime Minister has been addressing the nation over radio every month since October last year to reach to a wider base of the populace.
Last month's 'Mann ki Baat' programme was special as US President Barack Obama joined Modi in the broadcast.
