Niketan Rane’s father passed away when he was just a year old. His mother earns a meagre, Rs 1,500 a month to run the house. Troubled by his mother’s continuous struggle to provide for the family, he decided to challenge himself and studied hard to secure 97% in class X and 92.8% in class XII. His ambition was to pursue engineering, but lack of funds to aid his education held him back, until he enrolled for the Vedanta Super 30.
Vedanta Foundation, a public charitable trust, in collaboration with Abhayanand’s Super 30, has launched a campus in Vithalwadi, Mumbai that will train 30 underprivileged engineering aspirants for the IITJEE. The training will be conducted under the concept of Super 30, started by Abhayanand, who is presently the director general of police, Bihar.
Vedanta Super 30 is a 10-month, free coaching programme that includes boarding and lodging facility, apart from the training provided. Thirty academically strong students, who need financial aid, are chosen through an entrance test and interview. “The idea behind Super 30 is to aid and train talented underprivileged students to crack the IIT JEE. There are a number of students who are extremely talented, but can’t afford private coaching. Vedanta Super 30 expands the concept of Super 30 in Maharashtra and other parts of the country,” shares Abhayanand, DGP, Bihar Police and founder of the Super 30 concept. The first batch of Super 30 has already been selected through a process of examinations and interviews from 375 meritorious students who secured minimum 70% in class XII. The selection procedure includes a 300 marks written test, and a personal interview. Students who score the highest aggregate are selected for the super 30.
Ravi Krishnan, CEO, Vedanta Foundation shares the idea of establishing the Super 30, “Every talented student must get an opportunity to pursue his career aspiration irrespective of their economic condition. It is also important to support and nurture talent among talented students and ensure that they are facilitated with a conducive environment that strengthens their knowledge. Students will be coached through satellite training in addition to the regular classroom teaching. Exposing these students qualified trainers across the country will help them build confidence and inturn, perform well under exam stress.” Apart from Maharashtra, Vedanta Super 30 will be launched in Rajasthan this week.
Working on lines of the Super 30, Super 100 training will begin at Delhi NCR this week. Students who are interested in various Super 30 programmes to be held across India can visit www.csrl.in
