New Delhi, Jan 29 (IBNS):Breaking the entire audience into laughter, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took the name of online game, PUBG, while trying to assist  students and parents on how to deal with examination pressures at the Pariksha Pe Charcha in the national capital.

When one Madhumita Sengupta, who shared how her son got addicted to online games, sought direction from the Prime Minister, smiling Modi said: "Yeh PUBG wala hai kya? (Is it the PUBG one?)"

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 PlayStation is good, but one must not forget the playing field," he added.

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.
