Thus, a very large number of schools and students take part in the different levels of events. This is the impact which Mann ki Baat has upon the people," stated an official release.Mental Health and Well-Being of his people, especially children have always been a concern of the Prime Minister and he raised several issues through Mann ki Baat about the stress, pressure of examination, and peer and parental pressure, all related to the mental health of students.This has made several recommendations and initiatives by the Ministry including very effective programmes of Pariksha pe Charcha and Manodarpan. While Pariksha pe Charcha is an annual event where he addresses the students to overcome examination stress, there are several activities under the Manodarpan since July 2020 to provide psychosocial support to students, teachers and families for mental health and emotional well-being during COVID-19 and beyond."There is a 24x7 helpline for students, parents and teachers to address the rising mental health concerns of students' well-being and promote mental health in the school system as a whole.

These have been very supportive and several studies have been conducted on its effectiveness by NCERT.
