CHENNAI: The Rotary Club of Madras District 3230 on Tuesday bestowed its Educator Extraordinaire honour on celebrated Bihar-based IIT coach Anand Kumar, founder of Super 30 coaching centre.
Anand Kumar runs Super 30 — the Ramanujan School of Mathematics, which provides coaching to 30 IIT aspirants from poor social conditions in Patna, annually. The school also provides free accommodation and food to the aspirants.
Since 2002, Anand Kumar has coached 240 students, of whom 212 have made it to the IITs.
Awe-inspiring, yet humble, Anand Kumar, bowled over Rotarians with his presentation on how students from poor families in Bihar made it to India’s premier institution — the IITs.
The citation, presented by Rotarian president S Gunashekar, lauded his work as a significant contribution to the progress of the nation.
In his acceptance speech, Anand Kumar said he turned down sponsorships from different parts of the country as he did not want Bihar to be labelled as a poor and needy state.
He also expressed his wish to set up a school to provide free higher education and to coach students to crack all leading competitive exams. “I want to see my students win a Nobel prize,†he announced.
“From this year, he has agreed to coach two students from Chennai,†said Rotarian Vivek Harinarain, director, vocational service.
