Super 30 founder and mathematician Anand Kumar has found a place in a latest book in Japan that revolves round India’s development story.

The book, “Indo No Shougeki”, published by Japan’s famous publisher ‘Bhushan’ and written by journalists of TV Channel NHK, has a chapter exclusively on Mr. Anand Kumar’s struggle and success of his Super 30 initiative.

It tells the story of how Mr. Anand is helping several talented students from underprivileged families clear the highly competitive IIT-JEE.

Mr. Kumar told PTI that Yoichi Itoh, chief economic of Japan’s STB Research Institute, had come here to make an hour-long documentary on Super30 for NHK channel.

Several newspapers, magazines and TV channels covered Mr. Kumar’s life story and the impact of his Super 30 school.
