In an extraordinary milestone for India and the martial arts community worldwide, S. Jaanvi, a six-year-old prodigy from Velachery, Chennai, has been conferred with the prestigious Grand Master Title in Silambam by the World Record University, London — marking her name in history as the first girl child in India ever to achieve this distinguished honor.

A student of D.A.Ve. Baba Vidyalaya Senior Secondary School (CBSE), Velachery, Jaanvi’s accomplishment at such a tender age has left the entire nation in awe. Her journey, deeply rooted in dedication, discipline, and passion for India’s ancient martial art Silambam, has already inspired thousands of young learners across the country.

From the age of three, Jaanvi has been setting new standards of excellence. Her Silambam performances — known for remarkable precision, control, and spiritual focus — have earned her over 20 world records across various global record institutions. She holds distinctions from the India Book of Records, Asia Book of Records, Everest World Record (Nepal), National and International Records, and has even made her mark in two Guinness World Records related to Silambam and yoga performances.

Silambam, the ancient Tamil martial art form that embodies agility, rhythm, and respect, demands years of practice. Yet, Jaanvi’s mastery at such a young age showcases not only her natural talent but also her deep connection with Tamil Nadu’s cultural heritage. Her recognition as a “Grand Master” by the World Record University is not merely a personal achievement — it is a proud moment for India’s traditional arts and a testament to the limitless potential of young minds.

Speaking about her achievement, her parents P. Siva (Senior Manager in a bank) and P. Nithya (teacher, social worker, and news reader) expressed immense pride. They credited her success to consistent effort, moral support from family, and encouragement from her school community.

Beyond records and medals, Jaanvi is also known for her kind-hearted social initiatives — from planting trees and feeding the needy to donating her hair to cancer patients and registering as a government organ donor. She continues to balance academic excellence with humanitarian values, making her a symbol of both talent and compassion.

As she adds the Grand Master Title to her long list of global achievements, S. Jaanvi stands as a shining example of what dedication, discipline, and parental support can achieve. Her journey proves that age is no barrier to greatness — and that India’s future, in both tradition and talent, is in capable young hands.
