New Delhi, Feb 22 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday advised parents not to compare their children to others as it results in unnecessary pressure on them.

Addressing a special episode of his regular radio address to the nation "Mann Ki Baat" focusing on examinations, Modi said: "Parents must not compare their children with others as it puts needless pressure on them during examinations."

"Many parents have a feeling that their child should be the best at studies. They want their child to make them proud in their circle of friends and family. In reality, it is the parent who wants to bask in the glory of their child," he said.

"Don't take unnecessary stress of exams. Just be confident and believe in yourself and you will get good results," he added.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and other central and state board examinations for Class 10 and 12 will be held in March.

Modi had earlier this month invited students, teachers and parents to share their exam-related experiences for the monthly radio programme ahead of the board and competitive exams.
