Indians at their Best

I was proud to read about Ramanujna School of Mathematics (Patna, Bihar, India), brain child of Anand Kumar and Abhayanand in Business Week.

The point of contention is not its appearance in Business Week but that the people really taking a note of the needy and workings towards a better future.

Operating into the domain of education for over last 2yrs and with a passion in education for last 15 years at least (Yes, I've been dreaming of my village to be 100% literate since I was about 10yrs old), I know what it takes to dream of educated people, their growth -- and more importantly the joy of seeing one educated.

The school, named after a famous Indian mathematician, is even more intense than the IITs themselves. Located in Patna, the capital of Bihar, one of India's least developed states, the Ramanujan School trains just 30 students a year to take the IIT exam. Anand Kumar, 33, a local mathematician, and Abhayanand, 52, Patna's deputy director general of police and a lover of physics, founded the school in 2003 to help promising locals get ahead in the caste-based society.
