On March 21, 2015, Rajveer Meena, a resident of Mohocha village in Swaimodhapur district of Rajasthan, set a world record by reciting 70,000 digits after the decimal point in pi in 9 hours 27 minutes. Rajveer’s feat was achieved at the VIT University, Vellore, India. He was awarded the Guinness World Record certificate for memory on October 1. Rajveer claims that he can memorise thousands of digits by sequencing it into an episode or transforming it into an object. The former record belonged to Lu Chao who in 2005 had recited post decimal pi up to 67,890 in 24 hours 7 minutes.
