Patna: The socio-economic deprivation did not come in the way of
realising his cherished dream as a bright youth from the Mahadalit
communities Anand Kishore, a native of Nawada district, did himself
and his family proud by cracking the prestigious joint entrance test
of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).
The son of a father engaged in tapping palm juice for livelihood, the
18 year-old boy lived up to the expectation of his guru Anand Kumar,
the mathematics wizard and founder of the prestigious coaching
institute, 'Super 30' to secure 1190th position in the joint entrance
test for IIT this year.
Basking in the glory of his newly found achievement, Kishore, who
studied upto Class XII from a non-descript school in Nawada district,
passed on the credit of his success to the Super 30 and its co-founder
Kumar.
"I studies in a dedicated and disciplined manner on the advice of
Kumar Sir," he said.
My family members too stood like a rock by my side and prayed for my
success, Kishore, who belongs to the Pasi caste of the larger social
conglomerate called Mahadalit, said.
