On 9 February 2026, students from class VI-XII watched the live telecast of PPC 2026 from 10:00 am.

25 screens were put up for the students and teachers to watch this event live and a total of 833 students and 51 teachers witnessed this event.

In this interaction, the Hon'ble Prime Minister talked about strategies to overcome stress and anxiety during exams and also inspired students to look beyond exams, and focus on life skills, sports, creativity, and self-growth. He emphasised that discipline and motivation are both essential as without discipline, inspiration alone is ineffective. Further, he added not to look at art and studies as separate but to balance creativity with academics and to use art as a stress buster.

All in all, it was an eye opener for the students and motivated them to work hard to achieve success on their own and not compare themselves with others.
