Gujarat gets youngest winner of Cyber Olympiad

At first glance, city lad Kush Saluja is just a sweet, cute-looking schoolgoer. You wouldn't imagine a kid his age could top the state in IT and computer knowledge.

And yet, once the list of this 11-year old's achievements is out, you can't help but marvel at all that he's accomplished, and that too at such an early age.

Kush has done Amdavad proud. At the recently held Olympiad exam, this young boy stood 1st across Gujarat and 14th in India at the Cyber Olympiad. Surprisingly, despite being only in class 6, this young student stood first in the state in computer technology and IT knowledge - a feat, considering his age.

Olympiad exams are conducted at an international level, to identify and nurture talent among students. These exams are conducted annually, and students from across the globe appear for these.

Kush is a student of Anand Niketan School (Satellite) in the city, and besides academics, has other achievements to his credit as well. Not only did he stand first this year, he had also stood first at the Science Olympiad two years back. Kush is keeping his fingers crossed and is awaiting the results of the Science and Maths Olympiad exams eagerly. The principal of Kush's school is all praises for him.
