The IIT entrance exam results were declared on Monday and there were many happy children from Patna, who managed to clear the test. The sweet taste of success was felt at "Super 30" coaching institute in Patna. Mathmetician Anand Kumar started this institute in 2003 and every year 30 children from economically weak backgrounds are coached here for one of the toughest examination in the world. And all free of charge.
Says Vishwaraj Kumar, who cleared the exam: "I worked very hard for this.... I want to work for ISRO in the future."
Founder of Super 30 Anand Kumar says: "From this year, I want to pick up 90 students and work with them, I want to help more and more students."
Until last year Anand Kumar used to run super 30 with Abhayanand, who is the Additional Director General of Police in the state.
This year, they parted ways and the police officer set up another coaching institute. But the good news is, all his students too got through to the IIT.
Vikas Kumar, who too cleared the exam, says: "My father is a clerk at the Patna High Court. He has great expectations from me. I am happy I have managed to do well."
It is a giant leap forward for these students. And perhaps the future of many more such aspirants from the poorer sections of society is in safe hands.
