In 1992, Kumar began teaching Mathematics.[4][5] He rented a classroom for Rs 500 a month, and began his own institute, the Ramanujan School of Mathematics (RSM).[4][9] Within the space of year, his class grew from two students to thirty-six, and after three years there were almost 500 students enrolled.[4] Then in early 2000, when a poor student came to him seeking coaching for IIT-JEE, who couldn't 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.[4][7][8] Every year in May, since 2002, the Ramanujan School of Mathematics holds a competitive test to select 30 students for the ‘Super 30’ scheme. 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.[4] He prepares them for the Joint Entrance Examination for the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). His mother, Jayanti Devi, cooks for the students,[7] and his brother Pranav Kumar takes care of the management.[4] During 2003-2012, 263 students out of 300 have made it to the IITs.[4] In 2010, all the students of Super 30 cleared IIT JEE entrance making it a three in a row for the institution.[10] Anand 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 Ramanujam Institute.[8] After the success of Super 30 and its growing popularity, he got many offers from the private – both national and international companies - as well as the government for financial help, but he always refused it. He wanted to sustain Super 30 through his own efforts.[8] After three consecutive 30/30 results in 2008-2010, in 2011, 24 of the 30 students cleared IIT JEE.In 2012, 27 of the 30 students cleared IIT-JEE. Anand Kumar does not accept donation for the programme. His team creates the fund by organizing evening classes in Patna. | ||

Anand Kumar was born in Patna, Bihar. His father was a post office clerk in Bihar. His father could not afford private schooling for his children, and Anand attended a Hindi medium government school, where he developed his deep interest of Mathematics.[4][5] During graduation, Kumar submitted papers on Number Theory, which were published in Mathematical Spectrum and The Mathematical Gazette.[4] Anand secured admission to Cambridge University, but could not attend because of his father's death and his financial condition,[4][6][7] even after looking for sponsor in 1994-1995, both in Patna and Delhi.[8] Kumar would work on Mathematics during day time and would sell papads in evenings with his mother, who had started a small business from home, to support her family.[4][7] He also tutored students in maths to earn extra money.[7] Since Patna University library did not have foreign journals, for his own study, he 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. Thus he would spend Saturday and Sunday at the Central Library, BHU and return to Patna on Monday morning.[6] |
