At the age of five, the boy learned coding and developed various user-friendly applications. Three applications called “Countries of the world", “CHB” and“IQ Test App" for kids were developed by him.

“You can only gain knowledge when you read a lot of books. When you study you get answers to all the questions and there will be no fear in answering any kind of question. If you do not read a book every two hours, then you will be illiterate for the next four hours. I want to be a scientist in the future and wish to contribute to society and the country," said Prasanna in 2021, while speaking at an interaction programme.&nbsp;

The Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar was conferred by President Droupadi Murmu to 11 children this year. This honour is conferred on children, who fall between the age group of 5-18 years, and have achieved excellence in various fields and have made exceptional achievements.
