Gurugram, Nov. 14 -- Be it in sports, academics, music, literature or technology, nowadays, children are achieving extraordinary feats across diverse fields at young ages. As we celebrate Children's Day today, a HT team spoke to a few young achievers who shared their journeys. During a school trip last year, to a paralysis care centre in Gurugram, Pranet Khetan, 16, a student of Shiv Nadar School, Gurugram, witnessed firsthand how patients struggled to communicate because of slurred speech. That experience inspired him to develop an AI device called Paraspeaks, capable of translating slurred speech into clear speech in real time. "The first real test of the device on patients took place in February this year,"said Pranet. The device can be worn around the neck, he explained. According to Pranet, this device is India's first Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) framework designed for Hindi dysarthria speech. "I went to the International Science Exhibition in the US and met with experts who also guided me. My school, parents and peers always supported me," he shared. Aadhya Kaushal, 11, started learning golf at the age of seven, and bagged first prize in the recent US kids Golf Tournament held at ITC Classic Golf Club in Manesar, with an exceptional score of 5 under par in each round. A student of DPS International School, Gurugram, Aadhya shared that her journey with golf began at her father's encouragement. "Playing golf fills me with joy and happiness," she said. She also earned her qualification for two prestigious international tournaments, the Asian Junior Masters in Thailand and the World Junior Golf Championship in the US, which will be held in the next year. Samriddhi Pant, a 13-year-old Grade 9 student of GAV International School, Gurugram, has authored 49 poems in her debut book. She made headlines earlier this month by publishing "Shards of My Teenage Soul". Pant revealed that she has been writing poetry since Grade 6. "My favourite themes to write on are murder, melancholy, and psychology," she shared. During moments of writer's block, she turns to her parents, who she says have been her strongest support. "For me, poetry is about self-expression, conveying emotions, reflecting on society, and putting those thoughts into words," she explained....
