Witness - Super 30 Special - 17 July 08 Part 4

Many of Bihar's 90 million inhabitants come from low-caste backgrounds and are unable to even sign their own name. Consequently if you are born in the northeastern Indian state - the country's poorest - you are unlikely to ever be studying in the Indian Institutes of Technology, among the most sought-after universities in the world. However Anand Kumar, a brilliant mathematician, and Abhayanand, the local deputy police chief, decided to increase that likelihood for the young hopefuls of Bihar. They founded the Ramanujan Academy upon the premise that poverty, caste and religion should be no barrier to opportunity.

chanakya replies: shikshak sadharan nahi hota dhanananda, pralaya va nirman uski gaud mein khelte hain.
