In an awe-inspiring display of memory and cognitive ability, Nitesh Dhada, a 1-year-old from Balasore, Odisha, has been officially titled an IBR Achiever by the India Book of Records. At just 1 year and 10 months, Nitesh successfully identified and named 10 miscellaneous pictures, 26 pictures associated with the letters of the English alphabet, 5 fruits, 10 parts of the body, 16 animals, and answered 10 general knowledge questions, setting a new record as confirmed on March 26, 2025.
Born on May 7, 2023, Nitesh’s exceptional memory and rapid learning abilities have amazed his parents, friends, and experts alike. His ability to recognize and recall a wide range of objects and concepts, even at such a young age, has set him apart as a prodigy in early childhood learning.
“We always knew Nitesh had an affinity for learning and exploring his environment,” said Anita Dhada, Nitesh’s mother. “From a very young age, he would point at objects and try to repeat their names. His fascination with the world around him only grew, and we encouraged him by introducing him to flashcards and interactive games.”
The record-breaking event saw Nitesh effortlessly name objects in various categories, including fruits like apples and bananas, parts of the body such as hands and feet, animals like dogs and cats, and even respond correctly to general knowledge questions that would challenge even older children.
Dr. R. K. Patel, an expert in child development, praised Nitesh’s exceptional achievement. “What Nitesh has accomplished is remarkable. At such a young age, children typically begin to develop basic language and recognition skills, but Nitesh is demonstrating a level of recall and understanding that is extraordinary for his age.”
The record was officially confirmed after Nitesh completed the task with astounding accuracy and speed. His parents are extremely proud of his accomplishment, which highlights the importance of an engaging and supportive learning environment at home.
“We’ve always tried to make learning a fun and interactive experience for him,” said Prakash Dhada, Nitesh’s father. “Watching him thrive and achieve this recognition has been incredibly rewarding.”
