Intelligence has been defined in many different ways including as one’s capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, planning, creativity and problem solving. But after reading this article, you will definitely feel shocked.

Meet Ananya Verma, who is just 4-year-old is heading to study Class IX. Shocking, Right?

Yes, you read it correctly. She is not even five but is already eyeing a place in the Limca Book of Records. Ananya was officially given admission to class IX in St Meera’s Inter College in Lucknow, UP-Board Affiliated on Monday. Ananya was given admission upon the education department’s consent.

A little less than two years from now, Ananya will appear for the UP Board Examinations. If Ananya manages to clear the examinations, she will break the record of her own sister Sushma Verma, who cleared her class IX in 2007 when she was 7.

Endorsing her admission, district inspector of schools Umesh Tripathi said, “Ananya was so talented that none of us could stop her taking admission in class IX. The board permits home education only till class 8. So, now that she speaks fluent Hindi and reads class IX books with ease, she deserves the admission.”

Ananya was born on December 1, 2011, to Tej Bahadur and Chaya Devi. Tej Bahadur is an assistant supervisor (sanitation) at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University while Chaya Devi can’t even read or write. Ananya has two siblings, Shailendra and Sushma. Shailendra completed his BCA when he was 14 and Sushma got admission in Ph.D. at BBAU when she was 15.

In 2007, she was recognized by the Limca Book of Records as the “youngest student” to clear class X when she was 7 years, 3 months and 28 days old. At 13, Sushma completed her BSc. Tej Bahadur said that “We are blessed a family with all wonder kids. We never force them to study. When Ananya was a year and nine months old, she could read Ramayana and Sundar Kaand.”
