Anand Kumar was born on 1st January 1973 in Patna, Bihar, India. His dad was an assistant in the postal division of India. His dad couldn't bear the cost of private tutoring for his youngsters, and Anand went to aHindimedium government school, where he built up his profound enthusiasm for science. During graduation, he has also submitted papers on numbers theory which were published in Mathematical Spectrum.

EARLY STRUGGLE

Kumar secured admission toCambridge University, but could not attend because of his father's death and his financial condition, even after looking for a sponsor in 1994-1995, both in Patna and Delhi.

Kumar worked on mathematics during day time and sellpapadsin evenings with his mother, who had started a small business from home, to support her family. He likewise mentored understudies in maths to procure additional cash. Since Patna University library did not have outside diaries, for his very own investigation, he would travel each end of the week on a six-hour train adventure to Varanasi.

RAMANUJAN SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS
In 1992, Kumar started educating arithmetic. He leased a study hall for Rs. 500 per month, and started his very own foundation, theRamanujanSchool of Mathematics (RSM). Inside the range of a year, his class developed from two understudies to thirty-six, and following three years there were right around 500 understudies selected.

SUPER 30

In early 2000, when a poor student came to him seeking coaching forIIT-JEE, who couldn't afford the annual admission fee due to poverty, Kumar was motivated to start theSuper 30program in 2002, for which he is now well-known.

Amid 2003-2017, 391 understudies out of 450 have made it to the IITs.In 2010, every one of the understudies of Super 30 cleared IIT JEE entrance making it a three out of a column for the organization. Kumar has no money related help for Super 30 from any administration just as private offices and oversees on the educational cost expense he gains from the Ramanujan Institute.

After the achievement of Super 30 and its developing fame, he got numerous ideas from the private division - both national and global organizations - just as the legislature for money related assistance, however he generally denied it. He needed to support Super 30 through his own endeavors.

ANAND ACCUSED

Four students of IIT Guwahati have claimed that Anand Kumar, the founder of coaching institute Super 30, is a fraud. After qualifying for Super 30, Anand Kumar makes the students take admission in his coaching institute, namely Ramanujam School of Mathematics, by charging Rs 33,000 per student in the name of teaching them.

Anand Kumar claimed in his biography that his research paperHappy Numberwas published in a journal of theUniversity of Sheffield, a claim which the University has refuted. Anand Kumar has also brought benami property in his family members name. It is also said that her mother alone has 22 plots registered in her name.

With so many allegations on Anand Kumar, just a few months before the release of SUPER30 made the movie to be fictional rather than a biopic of Anand Kumar.
