Pune: Kanishk Jain has made the city proud by becoming one of the 6 students to represent India in International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO 20) which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand from December 1 to 10, 2023. He is the only student to get selected from Pune.
Jain is a student of Narayana E Techno School and is studying in 10th class. He is a resident of Maxima Society, Wakad, Pune.Â
He cleared NSEJS (National Standard Examination In Junior Scientific), Indian Junior Science Olympiad (INJSO) and (Orientation Cum Selection Camps) OCSC levels to get selected for Team India. In INJSO, he was the national topper.
Speaking to Pune Pulse, Kanishk Jain said, ” I studied and researched for all the topics in the Olympiad with the help of books, internet etc. The learning process was challenging and enjoyable. Once I qualified for the Olympiad, I became more competitive. So, I started studying more. Now, I feel proud to represent India on an International level through the Olympiad.”
Sarita Jain, mother of Kanishk said, “Kanishk has won many medals and olympiads since he was in grade 2. He has always been bright in studies. He has also won gold and silver medals in Class 6 and 9. He also stood first in a competition in Class 10. Hence, as a parent, I am very proud and happy as he will be representing India in the International Junior Science Olympiad.”
In spite of all his achievements, Kanishk is not a bookworm. He never misses his daily game of basketball or table tennis and the swimming practice that keeps him fit. He also learnt the art of painting by watching YouTue tutorials during the nationwide lockdown. An avid reader, he reads science fiction and fantasy books whenever he takes a break from his academic pursuits.
