Super 30 coaching center running in Bihar has been making headlines time and again for all the good reasons. This very famous coaching center run by Anand Kumar caters to underprivileged students. Like every year, 2016 was no surprise for this center when as many as 28 of its 30 students cracked the highly competitive IIT-JEE.
One very inspiring case out of these 28 students is of Shivangi who used to sell newspapers and magazines with her dad on a roadside stall. Well, it is a great pride for her family and the country to see her studying in an IIT. Not just this she has even landed a job.
I guess getting appropriate assistance at the right time in your career is all you need. ANnad Kumar has been serving a messiah for IIT dreamers since 2002. He opened Super 30 with an aim to provide free education and accommodation to the bright students who came from economically weaker backgrounds. And Shivangi was one such student who approached Anand after reading about him in the newspaper.
Though it’s not just about assistance but also about your will to crack an entrance exam and that too IIT! *Much Respect for you Shivangi*
And so Anand Kumar wrote this heartfelt post for Shivangi, embracing her journey and celebrating her success.
Here’s the translation:
These two photographs depict the same story. They are both a mirror and tears. These pictures are the past and the present. These pictures have yesterday’s silence and today’s achievement. These pictures are of my student Shivangi. The first one was taken when she came to join Super 30 with her father. Right from school, she used to help her father in selling newspapers and magazines from a roadside stall. When her father would get exhausted, Shivangi handled everything alone. But whenever she would get some time, she made it a point to study.
Shivangi had finished her secondary education from a government school in Deha, a small place near Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. One day, she read about me in the newspaper and came here.
During her time in Super 30, she grew close to my family. She used to call my mother daadi and would sleep with her during her bad health. When the IIT result came out and she was preparing to join IIT Roorkee, the women in my family were crying like their own daughter was going away. While leaving, her father said that people dream and sometimes they come true, but I had never even dreamt this big.
Shivangi still speaks to my family members. We just got the news that she landed a job and everyone was elated. My mother is the most happy about it and it’s difficult for her to hold her tears.
Proudly giving almost 100 % result every year, Super 30 was selected by Time magazine in the list of ‘The Best of Asia 2010’.
Shivangi you are a true inspiration and after reading your story we believe that life is what you make it!
