ANAND KUMAR credited an award from Dheerubhai Ambani Foundation, got the special time slot on Discovery Channel, received accolades and citation from top Bollywood actor Amir Khan in the Rang De Basanti TV show and now he added another feather in his cap by figuring his name in Limca Book of Records 2009 for helping downtrodden students making them to IIT-JEE absolutely free through his prestigious Super 30 coaching classes.

Once wandering on the dingy streets and by lanes of Patna district selling home made papaad with a view to arrange two square meals for his doting mother and brother Pranava, he never knew that he would produce 182 IITians from his Super 30 coaching classes.

For his pious effort, the Limca Book of Records has added a chapter on Anand Kumar. The Limca book narrates Anand Kumar success story saying that how in the adverse condition the meritorious Anand Kumar selected in Cambridge University in 1994, for higher education in mathematics but his financial crunch proved a major obstacle and he couldn’t join the university. Then he avowed to teach meritorious and economically weaker students of the society to prepare them for India’s prestigious IIT-JEE. To fulfill this dream he founded Ramanujan School of Mathematics where he conducts free coaching classes for poor, naming it to Super 30.

“The Super 30 has no financial support from any corner. This is subsidised by the evening classes for Intermediate (Science) students who appears in different engineering examinations,” Limca Book says.

When contacted Anand Kumar said, “ I am very excited to say that Super 30 has got a place in the Limca Book of Records. It has added more zing to my effort. I will do much more for the poor and downtrodden.”

It is to be recalled here that various researches on Mathematics of Anand Kumar have been published in the national and international journals. Several documentaries have been made on Super-30. One documentary on Super 30 has bagged an award at a film festival in the United States.
