What do you think that can a person has this much of ability to change the nation?
Maximum people will say no, and I also agree with them, because it is not possible to change the nation or any society by one person. It is quite impossible to change to these things. While, as we know that we are not able to change our family members, our wife, our son, our father, our mother, our sister, our brother, and we our-self also. Here, my mean of change means old and bogus traditions, bad habits, and other bad things which are putting us down. Then how a person can change to a society, a nation, and a world? In today’s lifestyle, where everybody wants to earn for himself only, and even he/she is not caring about his/her parents also. Then who would like to think about to improvement in society, culture, nature, and help to needy, and poor people, I don’t think so. But it is not, one guy who thought about it, who cares about poor and needy people. He knows that if a talent has not given a good shape then it will die soon. As we know that the dangerous diseases in today’s world are: aids, cancer, tuberculosis, diabetics, heart attacks, kidney failure etc. but generally, we forget the name of top most disease and that is POVERTY. Who is the mother of all this other disease?
If you want to know the real definitions of poverty then ask it to a poor only, who is suffering. I, you or any other person is not able to define it. It is like the same as hunger. Who is suffering, he/she can describe it only with well manners.
Here this is not my mean to describe or define to hunger or poverty. I just want to focus your kind attention on a great person whose name is Anand and his work is also greater then his name. You will be surprised to know that in a big, great and growing country like India, whose population is approximately 121 billion, and where many tycoons, industrialist, great rich leaders, great rich saints, many other world famous fortune 500 companies owner and CEOs, and other world’s richest persons are living here, whose accounts are in world famous Switzerland banks. Are not doing this work. Then who is doing this work. A poor fellow his name is Anand Kumar is doing this work. You know why he is doing this work because he knows the feeling and struggle of being poor fellow. He knows very well that talent has no cast, no status and no religion and also he knows that how a person feels and how much struggle he/she has to do in case of being poor. As, it is old saying ‘to know the feeling of blinds you have to be blind’. It is absolutely 100% correct here. I, you or others cannot understand the feelings of poor people till then we are not in such situation. I know that this country is full of millionaires, but who cares about poor fellows, nobody cares, but this man cares, and I really salute this guy through heart, and I also know that this is a beginning not an end. This will be also inspired to others to help humanity and help those people, who have nothing but have talent, and have a dream to do some special things for self, for a society, for a nation and for a world. So, let’s focus on some light to history, motivation, starting and continuation of this mission.

Former President of India A P J Kalam with Anand Kumar, at New Delhi . Dr. Kalam discussed about super 30.
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh with Anand Kumar in New Delhi on Wednesday 3rd February.
Anand Kumar of 'Super 30' initiative, met HRD Minister Kapil Sibal and submitted suggestions for adoption of best practices for prevention of recurrence of errors for the conduct of competitive examinations.
Bout super 30:
Super 30 is a highly ambitious and innovative educational program running under the banner of "Ramanujan School of Mathematics". It hunts for 30 meritorious talents from among the economically backward sections of the society and shapes them for India's most prestigious institution – the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). In the last seven years, it has produced hundreds IITians from extremely poor background. During this program students are provided absolutely free coaching, lodging and food. Super 30 targets students from extremely poor families. They have all seen the change with sheer disbelief in their eyes that their children are now going to be top technocrats.
History:
If Super 30 has become an architect for the budding poor talents, it is not without a reason. Fascinated by mathematics since early childhood, Anand always dreamt of becoming a mathematician. He started showing sparks of brilliance since early days. His love for mathematics came to fore in 1992, when he formed a Mathematics Club, ‘Ramanujam School of Mathematics’, while he was still in graduation. His mathematical bent of mind was spotted by renowned teachers, who provided him encouragement. Under the guidance of his mentor and guru, Devi Prasad Verma, then the Head, Department of Mathematics, Patna Science College, Anand started a training programme for mathematics lovers. It was a free programme, which anybody with interest in Mathematics could join. As months rolled by, Anand contributed several problems and papers on Mathematics to various national and international journals, magazines and newspapers.
In 1994, Anand got an opportunity to pursue higher education in Cambridge University, but his poor financial health came in the way. Having witnessed extreme financial hardship since childhood, he felt the pangs of poverty so much that he decided to do something for the poor students, who invariably fade away without getting right opportunities. This led to the birth of new form of ‘Ramanujam School of Mathematics’. Here he trained a small group of students for various competitive examinations at a very nominal fee. For those who were extremely poor and were in no position to pay even the small amount, money was never a constraint. They just did not have to pay anything. After some time, Anand decided to shape his programme seriously to cater to the poor, but meritorious students more significantly. He called his brother Pranav Kumar, a talented violinist, from Mumbai and planned to start the innovative Super 30 programme. Pranav Kumar helped Anand earlier also, but now he was directly involved. He was entrusted with the responsibility of managing Super 30. After a thorough screening, 30 poor, but talented students were shortlisted for the Super 30. Initially, making all arrangements for 30 students,was not so easy, but Anand’s family extended all help in his endeavor. Anand generated finances by tutoring students of other schools, while his mother, Jayanti Devi, cooked food for the students. For the students, there was only one goal – to study hard.What followed next was rigorous training of the students, and the results came as a big surprise in the very first year. It motivated Anand for put in more and more effort along with his team of dedicated teachers. In the last eight years, 212 students out of 240 have made to different IITs of the country. In 2003, when Super 30 started its journey, 18 out of 30 students competed. The very next year, the number jumped to 22. In 2005, it improved further to 26. Continuing the trend, 28 students made it in 2006 and 2007. However, the ‘magic moment’ came in 2008, when the result was an astonishing 30 out of 30. Super 30 had hit the bull’s eye. It was ‘a dream come true’ for Anand and his team. Super 30 has done it again in 2009 and 2010. It has been 30 out of 30 for the second year in succession. It was the result of dedicated effort of a committed group of teachers, led by Anand. A senior police officer, Abhyanand, who is now involved with other social activities, also played his part in motivating the students by finding some time off his busy schedule. The role of a group of old students of Super 30 was also vital. Amit Kumar and Praveen Kumar contributed in running regular classes for various subjects.
In view of growing demand, Super 30, has decided to increase its reach and access. This year, admissions will not be confined to poor students of Bihar only. It will be open to wards from lower middle class families as well. Apart from Bihar, it will be open to students from other States. The procedure of admission will, however, remain the same – through test. The short listed students will be provided free coaching, food and lodging by Super 30.
Challenges with super 30:
It is strange that despite working for the benefit of students from the underprivileged sections, Super 30 has to face problems. It happened right from the beginning, but it was sheer passion and goodwill that helped it grow from strength to strength. In 2003, when the initiative was started, Anand Kumar was attacked by some coaching Mafiosi, who did not want his brand of coaching. Later, when physical assault did not work, his adversaries – only a small number – tried to break his morale by attacking his reputation.
Many organizations try to show that he is associated with Super 30 or a part of Super 30. And they took a huge amount from government as well as from private agencies. But we want to clear that we have no branch or franchise around the globe. We have no financial support for Super 30 from any government as well as private agencies. We generate money on our own by running evening classes for intermediate level students.
What Super 30 is doing is just a drop in the ocean. India perhaps requires many more of them. Some much better experiments can also be worked out. Super 30 is just a small step. Anand will appreciate if someone takes a bigger step. What is required is to be positive, not to negate others good and sincere work. Finally, we are not responsible if any takes, seeks or demands the donation. We need only your moral support.
Mission:
The main objective of Super 30 is to track the talented bunch of students from economically impoverished sections and hone their skills by providing a conducive environment. Talent knows no boundaries. It is everywhere. All one needs is to spot talent and nurture it to let it blossom. Super 30 has done just that in the last six years and the results have been encouraging. The talented students have been given quality teaching and an open atmosphere to perform to the best of their potential. The students should not be handicapped by financial constraints of their families. If they have it in them, Super 30 is there to guide them where they belong, but may not reach for want of resources. Super 30’s mission is to help more and more students from economically poor sections reach the IITs. Having shaped students for six years now, Anand has now realized the importance of ‘catching them young’. He wants to start the talent hunt a bit earlier than Plus Two stage. If talented students are spotted at the school-level, it can work wonders. With this in mind, he wants to set up schools for poor children. The schools would provide the right impetus to the students at the right time through innovative teaching to develop their interest in Mathematics and Science subjects at an early age. It would shape them for different Olympiads and prepare them for other competitions. The thrust would be on developing inquisitiveness, so very important for science and math education.
