HIS HARD LIFE

His father was a clerk] in the postal department of India. His father could not afford private schooling for his children, and Anand attended a Hindi medium government school, where he developed his deep interest in mathematics. In childhood, he studied in Patna High School, Patna, Bihar. During graduation, Kumar submitted papers on number theory, which were published in Mathematical Spectrum.[ He also sent a letter to the editor of The Mathematical Gazette during his graduation days.

Kumar would work on mathematics during day time and sell papads in evenings with his mother, who had started a business from home, to support her family. Kumar tutored students to earn extra funds. Since Patna University library did not have foreign journals, Kumar would travel every weekend on a six-hour train journey to Varanasi, where his younger brother, learning violin under N. Rajam, had a hostel room, so that he could work there.

HIS HARD WORK

In 1992, Kumar began teaching mathematics. He rented a classroom for Rs. 500 a month, and began his own institute, the Ramanujan School of Mathematics (RSM). Within the span of year, his class grew from two students to thirty-six, and after three years almost 500 students had enrolled. Then in early 2000, when a poor student came to him seeking coaching for IIT-JEE, who could not afford the annual admission fee due to poverty, Kumar was motivated to start the Super 30 programme in 2002, for which he is now well-known.

Every May, since 2002, the Ramanujan School of Mathematics holds a competitive test to select 30 students for the Super 30 program. Many students appear at the test, and eventually, he takes thirty intelligent students from economically backward sections, tutors them, and provides study materials and lodging for a year. He prepares them for the Joint Entrance Examination for the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). His mother, Jayanti Devi, cooks for the students, and his brother Pranav Kumar takes care of the management.

During 2003-2

017, 391 students out of 450 passed the IITs. In 2010, all the students of Super 30 cleared IIT JEE entrance making it a three in a row for the institution. Kumar has no financial support for Super 30 from any government as well as private agencies, and manages on the tuition fee he earns from the Ramanujan Institute.After the success of Super 30 and its growing popularity, he received offers from the private sector - both national and international companies - as well as the government for financial help, but he has refused it; Kumar wanted to sustain Super 30 through his own efforts.
