Patna, October 17 : For the numerous batches of Super 30 that have passed out of the Ramanujam School of Mathematics and got into the prestigious IITs across the country, October 23 will be yet another tribute to the long hours of struggle and hard work they have put in.
A 60-minute film on these IIT aspirants will be screened at the South Asian Film Festival (SAFF) in New York on that day. The film called “Super 30” is directed by Christopher Mitchell and produced by Veronica Hall. The film shows how students struggle to make their way to the chosen batch of Super 30 and crack IIT-JEE tests. It also depicts “the real power of education to remake lives and communities”. The British film director and his team spent several days shooting the film at Kumhrar. The film had been screened at the Los Angeles film festival in California this April.
When Super 30 mathematician Anand Kumar along with additional director general of police Abhyanand had started the batch six years ago, they did not even remotely fathom the kind of accolades they would receive or the kind of impact they would make.
“My students make it amidst odds. We provide them tiny rooms to stay for eight months. We keep the fire burning in them till they make it big. It is a befitting tribute to the rich mines of talents in Bihar,” says Kumar.
