Every child is special in their own unique way but some children show some extraordinary talent that makes them child prodigy. These ‘wonder kids’ are making world records and making the nation proud at the age of playing with toys and watching cartoons.
Child prodigies are kids who achieve a lot more than their age. In India, we have heard about a lot of child prodigies where some have excelled in paintings while some have excelled in chess while others have excelled in science. Here are a few child prodigies of India who are making the nation proud.

This little one has just begun to walk but she started her abstract art at just the age of nine months. She painted with more than 37 techniques including pendulum, colours on wheels, hair comb texture, human spirograph, bubble painting and many more.
Anvi’s mother said to ANI that “It was difficult to keep the children entertained during COVID-19 and get them to learn simultaneously. Sourcing material was difficult, however, the girl’s hard work and passion for learning and a dedicated number of hours each day religiously for several months, paid off with her making three records at the age of 2.5 years which is now an inspiration for many children.”
