From adapting to online classes to dealing with ‘Zoom fatigue’, the past year has been challenging for Shreyas Aiyar, a graduate student at Maryland’s Johns Hopkins University. “The lack of in-person interaction made everything much harder. With libraries closed and restrictions around meetings, group work was challenging,” Aiyar said. “As a teaching assistant myself, office hours held online were much less effective.” Aiyar is one among the large numbers of Indian students who have returned home in the wake of the pandemic and coping with its challenges.

New Delhi: In the 4th edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha, the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi interacted with students, teachers and parents in virtual mode today. The interaction, which lasted more than ninety minutes, saw students, teachers and parents seeking guidance on various issues of importance to them from the Prime Minister. This year too, students from across the country, and also Indian students residing abroad, participated in the event.
Terming this year’s interaction as first virtual edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha, the Prime Minister said that Corona has led to many innovations and despite the disappointment of not being able to be among the students face to face, there should not be a break in Pariksha Pe Charcha this year. He said that Pariksha Pe Charcha is not only a discussion on examination but also an occasion to talk, among family members and friends, in a relaxed atmosphere and create new confidence.
