Patna:
Super 30, Bihar's free coaching centre which helps economically
backward students crack the prestigious Indian Institute of
Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE), has been given an
extensive write-up in a leading Canadian newspaper
The article and photo-feature in the Toronto-based The Globe and
Mail has lauded Super 30 school, run by Anand Kumar, for doing a
"great job for the poor sections of the society".
Anand Kumar has been described him as a "fanatical hero", who has
been trying with tremendous zeal to take the talented students
from the lower strata of the society to the top.
Earlier, Time magazine had described the school as the 'best in
Asia', while the magazine Newsweek put it in the list of world's
four most innovative initiatives.
"This recognition has only added to my responsibility and passion
to do more. The main credit for the success should go the talented
bunch of students, who put in a lot of effort to change their
destiny. Super 30 is just a small example to show how much talent
India has, which needs to be tapped. I have a dream that no
student in the world should be deprived of opportunity to study,"
Anand said Sunday.
He had set up Super 30 to prepare 30 students for the IIT-JEE in
2002, providing free boarding lodging and coaching to the selected
aspirants. In the last nine years, 236 students from Super 30 have
made it to the IIT-JEE. This brought it into focus, with Discovery
Channel, Al Jazeera and Japan's NHK channel making films and
documentaries on Super 30.
