TIME magazine has put an Indian American teen "scientist and inventor" Gitanjali Rao on its first ever `Kid of the Year` cover, selected from a field of more than 5,000 nominees for her "astonishing work using technology to tackle issues ranging from contaminated drinking water to opioid addiction and cyberbullying".
Wearing a white lab coat over a casual dress and sporting a bunch of medals hanging from lanyards, Gitanjali Rao is pictured on the cover of TIME edition dated December 14.
