At just 2 years and 8 months old, Yepuri Nishika from Khammam, Telangana, has carved her name in the India Book of Records (IBR) as a shining example of early childhood brilliance. She has been officially titled an ‘IBR Achiever’ for her extraordinary ability to recite the days of the week, months of the year, letters of the English alphabet with associated words, 10 nursery rhymes in both English and Telugu, recall the capitals of all 28 Indian states, and solve a puzzle featuring 8 different vehicles — all before her third birthday.
Born on June 13, 2022, Nishika has demonstrated an exceptional grasp of language, memory, and problem-solving skills far beyond her age. Her achievement was officially confirmed on March 11, 2025, earning widespread recognition from educators and record officials alike.
“She has always been curious and incredibly attentive to sounds, colors, and words,” said V. Lakshmi, Nishika’s mother. “We introduced her to nursery rhymes and flashcards early on, but even we were surprised at how quickly she picked everything up, especially in two languages!”
From charming renditions of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to lively Telugu rhymes and confidently stating capitals from Itanagar to Thiruvananthapuram, Nishika’s talents span both linguistic and cognitive arenas. Her puzzle-solving ability — effortlessly matching vehicle pieces — further highlights her sharp spatial and problem-solving capabilities.
According to early learning specialists, Nishika’s feat reflects the power of engaging, multilingual learning environments during a child’s formative years. Dr. Ramesh Goud, a noted child psychologist in Hyderabad, commented: “Children at this age have a remarkable ability to absorb information. What sets Nishika apart is not just her memory, but her ability to apply and recite it fluently in multiple formats.”
Her record entry has not only brought pride to her family but has also inspired parents across the region to nurture their children’s talents from an early stage. “We never pushed her,” said Naveen Kumar, her father. “We just made learning playful and part of her daily life — and now she’s achieved something incredible.”
With this achievement, Yepuri Nishika becomes a part of India’s growing list of young prodigies being recognized for their unique talents. Her story is a shining example of how joyful, consistent engagement at home can lead to extraordinary milestones.
As she continues her learning journey, her family hopes to give her every opportunity to explore her talents further. “We’re excited for what lies ahead,” her mother added. “This is just the beginning.”
