A Japanese television channel has arrived here to make a documentary on how students from the underprivileged sections of society aspire to be at the Indian Institutes of Technology under the guidance of mathematician Anand Kumar and his Super 30 team.

“We want to focus on the economic condition in eastern India and how students from poor families strive for success using education as a tool. Super 30 is a place which helps them realise their dreams, with so many students reaching the IITs and now also to Japan,” Masaki Hojo of Tokyo TV said.

Two former students of Super 30 are now studying in Tokyo University.
