Don't expect children to fulfil your unfulfilled dreams: Modi tells parents

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday asked parents not to expect their children to fulfil their unfulfilled dreams as he interacted with a number of students, teachers and parents in the second edition of "pariksha pe charcha". In this programme, Modi speaks to them about studies and examination-related issues.

"I would request parents, do not expect your children to fulfil your unfulfilled dreams. Every child has his or her own potential and strengths... It is important to understand these positives of every child," he said. He also described the townhall as a "mini-India, a place where we have in our midst the future of India". The prime minister said technology should lead to expansion of the mind and be seen as a means to innovate, but, he also asked students not to forget the playing field.
