Prodigies don’t just exist in movies in books but in real life also. One such inspiring story is of Akrit Pran Jaswal, a boy from Himachal Pradesh who performed surgery at the age of 7 and was dubbed the "world's youngest surgeon”.
Akrit started showing early unusual behaviours at the age of ten months, such as walking and talking. At two years old, he was also reading and writing. By the time he was seven years old, he shocked everyone by reading English novels by the age of 5. He was making new strides daily when other 7-year-old kids found it challenging to learn basic math and science.
Then, after conducting surgery on an 8-year-old burn sufferer, Akrit Pran Jaswal of Nurpur, Himachal Pradesh, gained national recognition. The prodigy made headlines again at the age of 12 when he became the "youngest university student" in the country. Then, at the age of 13, he had one of the highest IQs (146) in his age group, and became famous across the world as he appeared on the talk show hosted by the great Oprah Winfrey.
“I’ve developed a concept called oral gene therapy on the basis of my research and my theories. I’m quite dedicated towards working on this mechanism.I have been going to hospitals since the age of 6, so I have seen firsthand people suffering from pain,” he says. “I get very sad, and so that’s the main motive of my passion about medicine, my passion about cancer,” he said in an interview.
At 12, Akrit went to Chandigarh University to study science, and at the age of 17, he started doing a master's degree in chemistry.
Later, Akrit also worked at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur to study bioengineering, focussing on the search for cancer. The Chairman of Secondary Education in Dharamshala provided support and guidance to Akrit, who was known as a medical genius.
