Tamil Nadu's 17-year-old bags Rs 3.55 crore Brown scholarship

A clever teenager in India named Pranav won a very big prize from a famous American university.

The prize is a scholarship worth 3.55 crore rupees, which is a huge amount of money.

It means Pranav can go to Brown University in the United States without having to pay for his classes.

Brown University is one of the oldest and most selective universities in the world.

It is very hard to get in, because only about 5 out of every 100 students who apply are accepted.

Pranav will study public health and applied mathematics, which means using math to solve real-world problems.

He received mentoring from a program called Dexterity Global starting when he was 13 years old.

The scholarship pays for his tuition and living costs for all four years of his program.

Pranav says this opportunity is life-changing.

He hopes to use what he learns to help India in the future.
