Immediately, all guests, including students and parents, burst into laughter.
On a serious note, Modi said he does not believe that exposure to technology is, per se, bad for students.
He believes that it is good that students are getting acquainted with new technology.
However, he added that technology should lead to an expansion of the mind. It should be a means to innovate.

The session, which was termed as Pariksha Pe Charcha 2.0, was held at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi.
This is the second year when the Prime Minister interacted with several students and parents prior to the board examinations.
