Pursuing her first year B.Tech Degree in Computer Science at Kalasingalingam University in Srivilliputhur, K Vilasini's precocious talents were evident when she was just 11 years of age.
She also recently interacted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on ideas to serve the country.
"When she was 11 years old we realised her talent and got her to take up all opportunities that came her way. One such was the world record in IELTS," her mother S Sethu Ragamaliga told PTI.
"She has the world record in highest IQ with IQ level at 225, is the youngest CCNA (Certified Network Associate) World record holder, youngest Exin Cloud Computing world record Holder, youngest CCSA (Certification in Control Self-Assessment) World Record holder," she added.
On Vilasini's interaction with the PM as part of Teacher's day celebrations, Ragamaliga said it was a pleasant surprise when the family got a call from the PMO last week that their daughter had been selected. "It was one of the proudest moments in our lives", she said.
The nationally televised interaction with students of various schools across the country saw Vilasini posing a question to the PM on ideas to serve the country.
Modi replied in Hindi that one does not need to be a politician or be in civil services and one can just serve the country by conserving fuel, electricity and food.
To a question whether Vilasini was unhappy since Modi had replied in Hindi, Ragamaliga said, "it is a problem of those who do not understand that language."
