Indian young talent blossomed in to a techi of tomorrow

Hardy has to come to unearth Ramanujams in India. This is yesterday story in India.Yes, India unearths the potential in a youth and helped him to climb the ladders of achievement in technology. In 2003, When A.P.J. Abdul Kalam dedicated the Srinivasa Ramanujan Centre of the Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology and Research Academy (SASTRA), Deemed University in Kumbakonam, he had then mentioned about a child genius and referred to him as a young talent like Ramanujam, the acclaimed mathematician.

This wizard has carved out a niche for himself in the hearts of his role model,Mr. Narayanamoorthy of Infosys and Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft, too. But then who is this under kind? It is one S.Chandrasekhar from Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, a child prodigy, one of the few rare birds across the country.

S. Chandrasekhar is just 17 years old and he has completed his M. Tech, Computer science degree course from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai, in the month of May, 2008. He would thus be regarded in the annals of this subcontinent as the youngest Post Graduate Engineer from a leading technical school in the country. He is already a Bachelor of Engineering and a Master of Computer Applications. Furthermore, he has many awards and oodles of certifications in the IT field, to his credit too.
Chandrasekhar, who also attended summer internship modules in some of the leading universities in the United States, is a versatile hacker and could help crack systems to assess their security. Chandrasekhar has been chosen by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) to assist SETS,(Society for Electronic Transactions and Security, Chennai,) in exploring the computer security issues. These are the issues that could one day help in protecting the nation’s major computer systems. Besides, he was also the honorary Director for network engineering in Arulmigu Kalasalingam College of Engineering, a TIFAC (Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment
Council) sponsored centre, initiated by Dr. Kalam and set up by the DST.
Will this wonder child, Subramanian Chandrasekhar follow the footsteps of the Nobel laureate(1983), Padma Vibhushan Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, whose name he shares?
“He has many ideas towards his goal of serving the nation by building up a young team of talents. He is preparing himself in terms of skill, knowledge,leadership, passion etc to mature himself…. Let us hope for the best...”,

pat comes the reply from his parents. Let us join them in their hope that the day is not too far, when India strikes again at the coveted Nobel Prize, in the field of science, through one of her prodigies like Chandrasekhar.
