Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025: Nutrition Tips to Tackle Exam Stress

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' highlighted the significance of healthy eating to manage exam stress. Experts like Shonali Sabherwal and Rujuta Diwekar advocated for a balanced diet, emphasizing foods like millets and peanuts. The 2025 edition hosted interactive discussions with students, focusing on embracing nutritious routines.

This Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the eighth edition of 'Pariksha Pe Charcha', focusing on the critical link between diet, sleeping habits, and exam stress management. The episode welcomed nutrition and wellness authorities like Shonali Sabherwal, who stressed the destressing powers of homemade meals, particularly citing millets and brown rice as staples to curb cravings and maintain satiety.

Rujuta Diwekar, another well-respected author and nutrition guru, recommended varying one's diet akin to diversifying school subjects. She identified peanuts, bananas, and rice as quintessential stress-busting foods. Meanwhile, Revant Himatsingka spotlighted his initiative 'Label Padhega India', which highlights the importance of food label literacy.

Since 2018, 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' has offered students, parents, and educators a venue to discuss the stresses surrounding exams. Initially held in New Delhi, the format evolved during the pandemic but has since returned to its original live interactions. This year's broadcast reached a wide audience via multiple online platforms, maintaining its tradition as a vital educational service.
