Super 30: Changing the World 30 Students at a Time, Anand Kumar
"Revolutionary experiment to bring about social change" through success in Indian math exam IIT JEE.
Anand Kumar, a mathematics teacher, defied all challenges to set up one of the most successful and innovative initiatives in the world--Super 30.
Born in Gaudiya Math, Patna, Anand secured a place at Cambridge University, but couldn't attend because he had no money and sold papads in the evenings instead. He dealt with his own disappointment by setting up an innovative school in 2002 to prepare underprivileged students for the IIT JEE examination. Super 30 has an astonishing success rate and, on average, twenty-seven to twenty-eight of the thirty students crack the exam every year. Stirring and heart-wrenching, this is the extraordinary story of a visionary who has elevated these bright sparks and, through education, given them hope to rise above crippling poverty and realize their true potential.
