• The man in the picture is Anand Kumar, a
  brilliant mathematician from Patna, Bihar. For
  many, he is a role model but he gained
  inspiration from one of the greatest Indian
  mathematicians Ramanujan.

• The person you are seeing in this picture is
  Anand kumar , A mathematician from Patna, Bihar,
  India. His papers on the Number Theory were
  published in the Mathematical Spectrum and The
  Mathematical Gazette and he soon got an admission
  in the Cambridge University.

• However, after the death of his father, Kumar
  discontinued his studies at the University due to
  financial instability. He moved back home and
  started working as a tutor for students along
  with continuing his own study on mathematics.

• He would commute to Varanasi every weekend to
  visit the Central Library, BHU. There, he rented
  a classroom for Rs 500 a month, and established
  the Ramanujam School of Mathematics (RSM).

• Students grew in number exponentially each year
  and one fine day, a student from an economically
  backward class arrived at his doorstep. The
  student, who sought coaching for IIT-JEE,
  motivated him and thus, Kumar embarked upon the
  journey of the Super 30 program.

• Ever since 2003, Kumar now holds a competitive
  test to select 30 students from economically
  backward sections from the nation whom he would
  train for the IIT-JEE. His mother would cook for
  the students as Kumar tutored them.

• Out of the 270 students who have enrolled in the
  program, 236 have cracked the examination and the
  year 2010 marked the 100 clearance of the exam
  for the third year in a row.

• Kumars works have been recognised worldwide and
  his program has also been listed amongst the Best
  of Asia in 2010 in the Times magazine.
