In a remarkable showcase of early childhood brilliance, Dharmik M Nair, a 2-year-old from Alappuzha, Kerala, has been officially recognized as an IBR Achiever by the India Book of Records for demonstrating an extraordinary grasp of general knowledge, vocabulary, and memory across multiple subjects — all at the tender age of 2 years and 6 months.
Born on September 21, 2022, Dharmik has stunned family, educators, and record authorities alike by successfully identifying:
- 20 animals
- 22 birds
- 22 vegetables
- 19 vehicles
- 13 fruits
- 8 deities
- 7 parts of the body
In addition to this, he confidently recited:
- The English alphabet
- Months of the year
- Days of the week
- Numbers from 1 to 20
He also correctly answered 7 general knowledge questions, showcasing an impressive understanding of the world around him.
The record was verified and confirmed on March 31, 2025, earning Dharmik a well-deserved spot in the India Book of Records under the “Young Achievers” category.
Dharmik’s parents, beaming with pride, shared that their son began showing signs of curiosity and learning very early. “We never pushed him — he just loved books, sounds, and asking questions. What started as play turned into something magical,” said his mother.
Child development experts say Dharmik’s ability reflects not just natural intelligence, but also a nurturing, interactive learning environment. “This kind of early development is rare and deeply inspiring,” noted Dr. Anitha Nair, a pediatric specialist in Kochi.
The story of young Dharmik is spreading joy and awe across Kerala, inspiring other parents and educators to recognize and celebrate the wonders of early learning.
From naming fruits and birds to answering general knowledge questions, Dharmik is a shining example that brilliance can begin in the cradle — and with the right encouragement, even the youngest minds can achieve greatness.
