PM Modi's interaction with CBSE's students and parents came a day after his comments on Twitter, quoting those thankful for the cancellation of exams.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today surprised a bunch of CBSE students and their parents by joining a session organised for them by the Union Education Ministry. The move came two days after the Centre, keeping in mind the prevailing Covid conditions, cancelled the board's Class 12 exams for the academic year 2021. The Prime Minister interacted with parents during the meeting today and had a chat with them on their issues and concerns. PM Modi on June 1 decided to cancel the exam following a meeting attended by Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar, and Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) chief Manoj Ahuja. The board will now gauge students' progress over the past year based on well-defined objective criteria, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) had said following the announcement. The move has been widely welcomed across the country.
