The small house of nine-year-old wonder kid V Lakshmi Srija in Dwarakanagar situated in a narrow bylane in the heart of the town came alive with festival atmosphere as Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao visited her house on Tuesday night.
Mr Rao, accompanied by his daughter and Nizamabad MP Kavitha, drove straight to the house of Srija on his arrival in the town to participate in the TRS plenary to be held on Wednesday.
Appreciating her talents, Ms Kavitha presented her a gold chain on the occasion.
With joy lit large on their faces, Srija and her parents Kiran and Sudharani received Mr Rao, who arrived at their house fulfilling the promise made by him to Srija over a fortnight ago, with great warmth.
Impressed by Srija’s amazing grasp over the Telangana history and general knowledge, Mr Rao presented a cheque for Rs 10 lakh to Srija for her study expenses when the latter called on him along with her parents in his official residence in Hyderabad earlier this month.
Srija, a class IV student of a town-based private school, found a place in the Book of Telangana Records by virtue of her remarkable memory power and command over general knowledge and current events, sources said.
Elated over the visit of the Chief Minister to their house, Srija and her parents expressed their gratitude to him for sparing time out of his busy schedule.
