IIT-JEE 2014: British university to do a case study on Anand Kumar's Super 30
Bihar's Super 30, known for providing free coaching and assistance to underprivileged students to help them crack the prestigious entrance examination of IITs, is now the subject of a case study by a British university.
The University of East London, in partnership with Mumbai-based Tata Institute of Social Sciences, selected Super 30 as one of the three case studies from India.
"Super 30 is just one of three case studies selected from India and only one from Bihar. Two other case studies have been taken from Mumbai, while three case studies were from Britain," Anand Kumar, founder-director of Super 30, said.
The project, supported by the British Council under the UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI), is aimed at mapping social innovation strategies in overcoming multiple deprivations in select locations in India and Britain, he said.
Anand said the specific objectives of the study include identification of varied aspects of "deprivation and un-freedoms" which limit the potentials of people coming from deprived socio-economic background.
As part of the study, a team of researchers interviewed founder of Super 30 Anand Kumar and successful students of Super 30 in order to capture their experience in life.
