Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jairam Thakur celebrated his birthday by virtually interacting with students in the state and said that the initiative ‘Har Ghar Pathshala’ has been launched for ensuring online classes to benefit the students.
“The student must take the examination as a process of evaluating himself and not as a burden”, stated Jairam Thakur while interacting with the students through video conferencing.
Chief Minister said that examinations were a process of excelling in academics and a way that helps in the evaluation and assessment of the students’ progression. He said that this pressure brings along with it stress, anxiety and fear in the students.
“The major reason for the stress of the examination was because of the notion that attaining good marks is the only way to judge a student. In order to beat the stress of the examination, the student needs to be prepared for it from beforehand”, he said.
Jai Ram Thakur said that the students were future of the State and Nation.
“I urge the students to work with dedication and hard work to make their dreams come true. I urge the students to always respect their parents and teachers as they were the real architect of their life and career. There was no shortcut to success. I advise the students to remain more careful during the pandemic”, Thakur added.
