Seventh-class child from Karimnagar wins championship

KARIMNAGAR : Ch. Sahaja Sri, the child prodigy from Karimnagar district, in the seventh standard, who won the World Youth Chess Championship in the under-10 category in Georgia last month, is seeking funds and sponsors for participation in the ensuing competitions in India and abroad.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, along with her father Ch Sampath Reddy, Sahaja Sri said that she wanted to become the youngest Grandmaster, but her family's financial position was hampering her career. Her father, a Government teacher, is struggling to finance her.
