PM Modi urges for 'No Gadget Zone' during 'Pariksha Pe Charcha 2024'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday encouraged students to cultivate a healthy competitive spirit and lead balanced lives. Speaking to parents and students at his yearly ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’, which was the seventh edition of the program, he emphasized the significance of having a ‘no gadget zone’ inside of homes and promoted spending quality time with family time free from technological distractions.

PM Modi during the addressal underscored the importance of ‘recharging’ not only electronic gadgets but also our bodies, drawing attention to the requirement for proper sleep. He remarked, "Just like a mobile requires charging to function, similarly it is very important to keep the body recharged, because keeping the body healthy is very important for a healthy mind. For this, taking proper sleep is also very important.”

जैसे मोबाइल को कार्य करने के लिए चार्जिंग की आवश्यकता होती है, उसी तरह बॉडी को भी रिचार्ज रखना बहुत जरूरी है, क्योंकि स्वस्थ मन के लिए शरीर को स्वस्थ रखना बहुत जरूरी है। इसके लिए प्रॉपर नींद लेना भी बहुत आवश्यक है।

"There should be a 'no gadget zone' inside the home. When you are with your family, sitting at the dining table there should be no use of phones to communicate," he added.

He also asked the students to keep track of their screen time. 

Using gadgets should be accompanied with time-tracking tools and applications.

Ensure that your gadgets have apps that keep a track of your screen time.

One should not forget to respect their time while using mobile phones. We should have the wisdom to use technology… pic.twitter.com/G9nK2zeYcx

Talk if you are confused: PM Modi

PM Modi also emphasized on the developing the habit of making decisions on their own. He said, “We should develop the habit of being decisive. One should not remain in confusion. If there is any confusion then we should talk about it and resolve it and move ahead.”

हमें आदत डालनी चाहिए कि हम निर्णायक बनें। कंफ्यूजन में नहीं रहना चाहिए। अगर कोई कंफ्यूजन है तो हमें उस पर बात करनी चाहिए और उसका समाधान करके आगे बढ़ना चाहिए।

While addressing the students, PM Modi asked the students to practice writing every day. “In today's era, due to technology, the habit of writing has reduced, whereas writing has to be done in the exam. Therefore, write something in your notebook every day. Make a habit of writing..,” he said.

आज के युग में टेक्नोलॉजी के कारण लिखने की आदत कम हो गई है, जबकि एग्जाम में लिखना होता है। इसलिए रोज आप खुद अपनी नोटबुक में कुछ न कुछ जरूर लिखें। लिखने की आदत डालें...
