Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Abhayanand and his partner and math whiz Anand Kumar run a coaching institute in Patna for poor children.
The institute prepares students for the Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Exam (IIT-JEE) entrance test free of cost.
The Ashok Rajpath street in Patna is home to many coaching institutes and a haunt for the many students in Bihar hoping to crack various entrance exams and secure a bright future for themselves.
But there is another coaching institute. too, that is a league apart from all these.
The students here are mostly poor, and are housed, fed and coached free.
Boasting a success rate of almost 95 per cent in the IIT-JEE, it's called the Super 30 and its run by Abhayanand and Anand Kumar.
While coaching his own children for the IIT entrance Tests in 2002, Abhayanand thought of the many underprivileged students who didn't have access to such facilities.
Yet he felt many could make it with just a little help and that is when he decided to set up Super 30.
"We wanted to help the children who were intelligent but who did not have enough money to pay for the IIT-JEE coaching fee. The fee is quite hefty," Abhayanand, an Indian Police Service officer, says.
