PM Modi to take part in 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' in Guwahati and inaugurate new airport terminus

Guwahati, Dec 17 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to take part in an interactive session with students of Class IX and X on a ship on the mighty Brahmaputra river on December 21.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said this on his social media handle and added that the proposed 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' programme on the mighty Brahmaputra river is expected to immensely boost Assam's river tourism potential across the world.
"Last year, the Prime Minister stayed one night in Kaziranga National Park, and after that, we received the highest tourist footfall in Kaziranga. On Dec 21, the Prime Minister will interact with about 25 students of class IX and X on MV Charaidew, a luxury vessel used for river tourism in Assam. The Prime Minister will discuss with the students the examination-related issues. But we hope his travel on the Brahmaputra will boost the river tourism potential of the river in Assam," said Sarma on his social media handle.
