उत्तर
Our special guest today needs no introduction. She is a great example how a child prodigy does wonder when she grows up. Koneru Humpy was bom in 1987 near Vijayawada. Her talent was spotted by her father at an early age, who left his job to groom Koneru Humpy. Koneru Humpy paid due tribute to her father’s efforts by winning championships from an early age. She won World Girl Titles for every age group and later on became the World junior champion. At a young age of 12 she became the International master and at the age of 15 she became a Grandmaster. The government of India has acknowledged her achievements by honoring her with many awards. She was conferred Arjuna Award in 2003, Padmashri Award in 2007 and Raja- Lakshmi Award in 2008. Join me in thanking her to grace this occasion.
