“We'll talk like friends and mistakes can happen. And, in my case, if I make a mistake the friends in the media will love it too..." he said, grinning at the audience.
He cited Chandrayaan in his speech and said students should not be afraid of failure and take it as a part of life.
"Was told I shouldn't attend Chandrayaan landing as there was no guarantee of success but I needed to be there," he said. Good marks in exams are not everything, he told the students in the interaction. "We have to come out of the thinking that exams are everything," the PM said.
The interactive session is available to students, teachers and parents nationwide through YouTube and social media platforms.
