Satyam, and his classmate Harshita Rao, 17, won bronze medals in chemistry at the international competition held in the first week of September in Moscow, becoming the first team from a government school to bring home a medal.
When 17-year-old Satyam, studying in a government school, applied to participate in the 4th International Olympiad of Metropolises in Moscow — where he won a bronze medal on Friday — he did not even have a passport.
The two were among the eight students from Delhi government schools who flew to the Russian capital to participate in the Moscow Olympiad, held for the students aged 14-18 years. The duo competed against 44 teams from across the world.
