As the board examinations approach, students of 10th and 12th standard tend to feel the pressure and stress. Despite they have done the required reading and preparation, an uncanny fear takes control over them.
To lessen this burden and ease the dilemma myself Devang Vibhakar and Vikas Rajpopat have made this documentary film. It gives a positive message to students appearing for board examinations. Also, educationalists and other dignitaries like Gijubhai Bharad, Vasantkumar Pathak, D. V. Mehta, Sonalben Shah, Pravinbhai Maniyar, H. P. Singh, Dr. K. L. N. Rao, Dr. Vijay Nagecha, Swami Sarvasthanandji, Tyag Vallabh Swamiji, Nareshbhai Patel, Yusufbhai Johar, Jay Chhaniyara, Bhartiben Mehta and Atulbhai Sanghvi have addressed the students as well as parents and give their useful messages.

ખૂબ ખૂબ અભિનંદન.
ફિડબેક આપવા બદલ આપનો દિલથી આભાર.
Very good show. It was all about students but no students were interviewed to let them speak about their fears, expectations and other thoughts. Why?
Devang yet again doing something special! No stopping him.
I think the scope of documentary was to make students and parents feel at ease and to advice them about taking no pressure.
I wish, the interviews/messages were ‘sticky’ enough. To me it was like telling someone who was afraid, ‘not to be afraid’, or telling kids/parents who are under pressure, ‘not to take any pressure’. Important part was to actually make the message ‘sticky’ or memorable enough so that it sticks in people’s mind.
Also, it would have been great to include the interviews of last year’s students or something. Remember, they know the pain of this pressure and students would listen to them more closely than a Police officer (i think).
Just my two cents. Otherwise, a great, positive attempt. Good luck.
Cheers,
Jigar
good best of luck
