On January 23, 2024, 657 Kendriya Vidyalayas and 122 Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVS) across the country held a nationwide painting competition as part of a novel attempt to help pupils deal with the stress of exams.

At the grand event, which featured exam mantras from Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's book Exam Warriors, over sixty thousand students participated.

On this day, which is known as "Parakram Diwas," the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, students are encouraged to learn about the life of this great hero and to develop a sense of patriotism. The art competition's topic was also this uplifting message. The Ministry of Education has promoted a number of events, such as painting competitions, at all schools around the nation to foster students' creative expression.

From January 12 (National Youth Day) to January 23 (National Youth Day), events included marathon runs, music competitions, meme contests, Nukkad Natak, poster-making, and yoga/meditation sessions were planned.
On January 23, 2024, both professors and students participated in the painting competition with tremendous zeal and fervor.

A staggering 2.26 crore people registered for the seventh iteration of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's "Pariksha Pe Charcha 2024" interaction programme with parents, teachers, and schoolchildren on the MyGov portal.

This demonstrates the widespread zeal among students from all throughout the country, excited to take part in this unique occasion and speak with the Prime Minister. The Pariksha Pe Charcha 2024 event will take place this year at Bharat Mandapam, ITPO, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, on January 29, 2024, starting at 11 a.m.
