What Is PPC 2026?
Launched under the Ministry of Education’s Exam Warriors initiative, Pariksha Pe Charcha is an annual interactive event where PM Modi engages directly with school students, teachers, and parents. The goal? To openly discuss academic pressure, mental well-being, time management, and the true meaning of success—beyond just marks .
For PPC 2026, the program is open to:
- Students from Classes 6 to 12
- Parents of school-going children
- School teachers and educators
Participants must submit questions or thoughts on the official portal (innovateindia.mygov.in/ppc-2026), which serves as the first step toward selection.
Why the Sudden Registration Frenzy?
The surge in registrations isn’t just organic—it’s strategic. As the January 11, 2026 deadline
But the real magnet? The exclusive rewards. Every selected participant receives a PPC kit—a curated package that includes PM Modi’s best-selling book Exam Warriors, motivational posters, stationery, and digital badges .
More enticingly, ten standout participants will be crowned ‘Legendary Exam Warriors’ and awarded a once-in-a-lifetime golden ticket—a personal meet-and-greet with the Prime Minister himself . That prospect alone has turned PPC 2026 into a national race.
How to Register for PPC 2026 Before Jan 11
If you’re a student, parent, or teacher and haven’t registered yet—don’t panic. You still have time, but act fast. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide:
- Visit the official portal: https://innovateindia.mygov.in/ppc-2026/
- Create a MyGov account (if you don’t already have one).

- Click ‘Submit’ before 11:59 PM on January 11, 2026.
Pro Tip: Authentic, personal questions stand out. Avoid generic queries like “How to study?” Instead, try: “How did you handle failure during your school days, PM Sir?”
The ‘Legendary Exam Warriors’ & Golden Ticket Prize
The ‘Legendary Exam Warriors’ title isn’t just ceremonial—it’s a validation of courage, curiosity, and emotional intelligence. These ten individuals (or groups) are chosen not just for their questions, but for the depth of their reflection on academic pressure and mental health.
In past editions, winners have come from remote villages in Jharkhand, government schools in Tamil Nadu, and even differently-abled students from Delhi. The selection is merit-based and inclusive—a core value of the initiative .
Selected winners receive:
- A personal invitation to the PPC 2026 live event (usually held in Delhi)
- Face-to-face interaction with PM Modi
- Customized PPC 2026 memorabilia
- National media recognition
This human-centric approach is why PPC resonates so deeply across urban and rural India.
Why PPC Matters: More Than Just a Q&A
At its core, PPC 2026 is a public health intervention disguised as an educational event. India faces a silent crisis: rising student suicides linked to academic pressure. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), over 13,000 students died by suicide in 2024 alone—many citing exam failure as a key factor .
Programs like PPC normalize conversations around stress, failure, and emotional well-being—topics long stigmatized in Indian academic culture. By having the Prime Minister himself address these issues, the message gains unprecedented credibility and reach.

Many schools have integrated PPC discussions into their curriculum, using past sessions as teaching tools. Learn how to build a stress-resilient classroom in our guide: [INTERNAL_LINK:building-resilient-students].
Conclusion: Don’t Miss Your Shot
With over 3 crore registrations and counting, PPC 2026 is clearly more than a government program—it’s a movement. It’s where a Class 8 student from Assam can ask the Prime Minister about managing anxiety, and a teacher from Rajasthan can share classroom strategies for holistic learning.
If you’re eligible, register before January 11. Even if you don’t become a ‘Legendary Exam Warrior,’ your voice contributes to a national conversation that could change how India views education—and success—forever.
