Last Sunday I found one more reason to validate that Discovery channel is best. As usual on every Sunday I was making sure that every channel is working fine. In short just playing with remote. Thankfully I landed at Discovery with new series on Discover India. Narrator's first line was "This is patna" I thought it’s a sequel of Slumdog Millionaire but after describing the value of Ganga in patna's life. Narrator said, "This is the story of Super 30". Though I heard this term a year back but not recalling what exactly this is. I hope you too might have not heard about this.
It's an amazing institute probably unique in world. This institute is preparing under privileged students for one of toughest engineering entrance in world. Surely, best in India its IIT (Indian Institute of Technology).
Super 30 selects 30 students from extremely poor families. Many of them are wards of sweepers, hawkers, daily wage workers etc. Provides coaching for eight months with accommodation and food. All of this is FREE !!!
I am sure you are thinking about the success rate. This elite institute started in 2002. Here is the result.
2003 18
2004 22
2005 26
2006 28
2007 28
2008 30
2009 30
Just to remind you again result is out of 30.
Now, let’s come to the point. Who are our Heroes behind this mission.
1. Mr. Anand Kumar, Mathematician
2. Mr. Abhayanand, IPS officer. Presently ADG of Bihar police
Anand kumar who got the scholarship for Cambridge University but due to lack of money and premature death of this father couldn't make it. At that time he was a noted mathematician. He runs Ramanujan School of Mathematics to fund Super 30. By this initiative he is cloning 30 Anand kumar every year.
Mr. Abhayanad a topper himself in physics during his graduation. Additional Director General of Police. No need to say what kind of status he is living. Still, serving the society in real terms.
I salute!!!
When we say "India ka kuch nahi ho sakta" I think we better say "Hamara kuch nahi ho sakta". I think if we have any example in front of us then it’s quite easy to follow but if we don't have any example then again it’s quite easy to be an example for others.
In the process of "Being a Hero" :-)

Good blog,
Just to add to your knowledge base, now these two people Mr Kumar and Abhayanand have their different institutes, Kumar is still with Super 30 but Abhayanand went for different institute specially for muslim students named Rahmani-30, intrestingly this year Super 30's result was 100% and 43 of the 58 students from Rahmani-30.
At last moral of the story, they are doing better job even they are not together :-)

Hey Dhiraj,
It felt nice to read your blog.Very well written and informative. At least for persons like me who till date were unaware about "Super 30". So its so rightly said it should be "Hum logon ka kuch nahi ho sakta instead of "India ka kuch nahi ho sakta"
Will keep that in mind always, if at all I have to use it :)
Hi bhaiya,
You have written so good and logically. Its true that to change our country first we have to change ourselves and our mentality. We have to make our mind broad. And if we will be able to do so, we will be able to change our country 'INDIA'........

Hi,
Just like rest of ur blogs this one is also very informative & edifying which makes the reader to think and feel about it.
I feel really proud to have people like Mr Kumar and Abhayanand in our country who set examples for others, however due to negative journalism we hardly get to see such type of news or articles in 24*7 news channels where murders, thefts and crimes are more promoted thereby showing negative face of INDIA.

aacha hai :)
