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.
