Highlighting that around 29 crore school children and three crore colleges students take part in examinations, Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar had earlier directed the state education ministers to relay the programmes in all schools and colleges.

“We all know about the book now (‘Exam Warriors’ written by Modi), but since exams are a big exercise where … So, this is not a political topic, it’s a household topic,” Javadekar had said.

The Minister also said that the government would implement its Prime Minister Research Fellowship scheme from this academic season, under which 1000 meritorious B.Tech students would get scholarship of Rs 70,000 and a one time research grant of Rs 2 lakh.

The scheme which has been allocated a total budget of Rs 1,650 crore, was given the cabinet approval on Wednesday.

He said that the scholarship holders would also be exempted from doing masters and allowed to enrol directly for Ph.D.
