Super 30, Bihar's free coaching centre which helps economically backward students crack the Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE), has been selected by The Time Magazine in the list of The Best of Asia 2010.
"It is a matter of great pleasure that the Time Magazine has included our school Super 30 in the list of The Best of Asia," Anand Kumar, the institute's director-cum-founder, told IANS.
"Time Magazine has described Super 30 as the Best Cram School in its list," he said.
"The project has even won the notice of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who met Kumar in February to hear his plan to launch a national programme for talented rural children. In a country that has struggled to offer those students even basic education, Super 30 is an example of what's possible when human potential is tapped," the magazine said.
The institute was started by Kumar along with Bihar's Additional Director-General of Police Abhayanand in 2002 in Patna. But two years ago, Abhayanand dissociated himself from the institute.
