​New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday coined a term that could succinctly sum up ...er many children across India – ‘PUBG-wala’ - as he fielded questions on exam stress at his ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha 2.0’. As a mother complained to the PM that her son was avoiding studies and was addicted to online games, Modi replied: "PUBG-wala hai kya? The audience roared with laughter.

On a serious note, the Prime Minister said it was not good to dissuade children from technology. "Explore ways in which you encourage your children towards accepting and understanding technology. But remember, technology should be used to expand our horizons, not to let it shrink us in our life. It should not be allowed to narrow us down, as that would be very harmful for us," he advised.

"Like everything else, technology too comes with its positives and negatives. As parents, we must guide our children to get the most from technology. Encourage their inquisitiveness on learning about various apps... like how to build something or cook something."
