Abhayanand Presents "Magadh Super 30" in GAYA

The Times of India Reports : -

GAYA: The efforts of the ADGP Abhayanand to expand the Super-30 base and come out with the Magadh version of the Super-30, evoked an impressive response in the division with about 1,500 students possessing the IIT eligibility criteria of having at least 60 per cent marks at the senior secondary level took the selection test held at two different centres in Gaya town. The tests were held at Mirza Ghalib College, Gaya and Creane Memorial School centres. Whereas M G College is a linguistic minority college, Creane Memorial School is run by Christian missionaries. Super-30 patron Abhayanand was present in the town to monitor the selection test. He also gave vital tips to the prospective teachers of the Magadh chapter of the Super-30. The spade work for the launching of the Magadh Super-30 has already been done under the leadership of Geeta Kumari, a retired educationist who has accepted to the request to work as the coordinator of the Super-30. Boarding arrangements for the Super-30 students have been made and they would be put up in the Dandibagh locality of the town. The Central Bihar Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) and individual philanthropists have volunteered to meet the expenditure including the cost of study material provided to the selected students. Free food and lodging would be provided to the selected IIT aspirants. The selected students will have to stay in the Super-30 hostel mandatory even if they hail from Gaya town as group study is regarded very helpful, rather essential to crack the test. Asked about the response to the earlier test conducted exclusively for minority students, Abhayanand said that some very talented students have been identified and the quality is much better than his (Abhayanand's) expectations. Abhayanand revealed that a sizeable number of students who have done very well at the minority student test belong to Gaya. In terms of number, the response of the Gaya students at the minority students test was not very impressive but quality-wise, it is very good, he said.

Abhayanand guided Rahmani Super 30 conducts its first entrance test .

Indian Muslims Reports :

By Tarique Anwar, TwoCircles.net,
Patna: Rahmani 30, the recently launched coaching institute by Rahmani Foundation of Munger to provide Muslim meritorious but poor students with free coaching, besides free lodging and food, for preparation of IIT-JEE, conducted its admission test on 20th July.
The entrance test was held in 13 districts in the state including Patna, Gaya, Munger, Kishanganj, Katihar and Muzaffarpur. A total of 2,300 students appeared in the entrance test. The management of the institute will select 60 students on the basis of their performance in the written test and finally 30 students will be shortlisted after their screening test. Result of the entrance test will be declared shortly.
Maulana Syed Mohammad Wali Rahmani, Sajjada Nashin, Khankah Rahmani of Munger, and Abhyanand, Additional Director General, Bihar Military Police, who is also administrator of this coaching centre, visited the examination centre at Patna Muslim High School. Abhyanand expressed his happiness on appearance of students in large number in the entrance test.
TwoCircles.net spoke to Abhyanand on his active participation in this coaching. Asked how he will coach students for IIT-JEE he said: “We will finish teaching part latest by December and after that, rigorous test will be held continuously to make them perfect and confident and also to eliminate their fear, if any, about IIT examination. We will keep all of them together so that they can share and solve their subject problems among themselves. They will be competitor and collaborator of each other and this is the best way to explore talents.”
To a question about his expectation from the very first batch of Rahmani 30 that is going to face IIT-JEE, he said that on the basis of his six years of experience of 'Super30' coaching institute he expects selection of all 30 students.
“I never felt any burden or disturbance in discharging my official responsibilities along with these curricular work", said Abhyanand. “I hail from Bihar and want to do something extraordinary for the society that has decided to initiate work like this, Abhyanad told TwoCircles.net when asked what motivated him to serve for the educationally backward community.
Not very big infrastructure and many books are needed to compete for IIT-JEE. Word picture on mind is essential instead of using blackboard etc. Collective effort is essential for success and this is the concept of this coaching. Teachers are friends, guides and motivators for students, he said.
The questions asked in this entrance test were logical and standard. They covered all parts of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Questions of Mathematics were very tough but were up to the standard of IIT-JEE, Adil Rasheed and Abdur Razzaque who appeared in the test to seek admission in the Rahmani 30 coaching centre, told TwoCircles.net.

एक अस्पताल दिल से। न कोई सरकारी मदद और न कोई ग्रांट की व्यवस्था, एक शख्स बस दिल से लग गया तो वैसे लोग भी मिलते गये, कारवां बढ़ता गया। एक उपेक्षित अस्पताल इस तरह अब आधुनिक नर्सिग होम की शक्ल में आ चुका है। यहां अल्ट्रासाउंड व एक्स-रे से लेकर अत्याधुनिक ओटी भी है। इसे सुंदर और सुविधाजनक बनाने के लिए जवान अपने परिजनों की स्मृति में रिसेप्शन पर टीवी व एक्वागार्ड लगवा रहे हैं। राजधानी के समीप फुलवारीशरीफ में बीएमपी-5 के परिसर में स्थापित यह अस्पताल अब नए लुक में है। झाड़ू देने वाले बुजुर्ग गणेश राम ने कभी सपने में भी नहीं सोचा था कि उनके हाथों कभी किसी अस्पताल का उद्घाटन भी होगा, पर यह सच हुआ। माह भर के भीतर रिटायर होने वाले गणेश राम ने अस्पताल के नये स्वरूप का उद्घाटन किया है। उन्होंने सोमवार को बीएमपी कमांड हास्पिटल को एक दर्जन बटालियन के जवानों की सेवा में समर्पित कर दिया। 13 पुरुष और चार महिला बेड वाले इस अस्पताल की सज्जा अब एक नर्सिग होम से कम नहीं है। अब इसका अतीत जानिये- यह वही अस्पताल है, जहां देर शाम लोग फटकते तक नहीं थे। वहां कुत्ते बड़ी संख्या में दरवाजे के पास ही रहते थे। अस्पताल का भवन था और पटना में रहने को ख्वाहिशमंद चार चिकित्सक भी यहां पदस्थापित थे पर इलाज कम और फर्जी सर्टिफिकेट बनाने का काम ज्यादा होता था। सिपाहियों के लिए सिक लीव यानी बीमारी की छुट्टी के लिए सर्टिफिकेट बनाने के अलावा यहां कुछ खास नहीं होता था। बीएमपी के एडीजी अभयानंद ने बताया कि जब वह यहां पहुंचे तो तय किया कि जवानों के इलाज की कुछ व्यवस्था करें। इसी क्रम में उन्होंने बीएमपी जवानों के एसोसिएशन के पदाधिकारियों से बात की। वे अस्पताल के नाम पर तैयार हो गए। तय हो गया कि एक-एक बटालियन से पचास-पचास हजार रुपए तो चंदे के रूप में आएंगे। इस तरह से बारह बटालियन के हिसाब से छह लाख का इंतजाम पंद्रह दिनों के भीतर हो गया। इस पैसे को लेकर हमें अस्पताल शुरू करना था सो हम उन लोगों के पास गए जो अस्पताल के क्षेत्र में अनुभव रखते हैं। लोगों में सहयोग की भावना क्या है, इसका अंदाजा सिर्फ इस बात से लगाया जा सकता है कि लायंस क्लब आफ फेमिना की महिलाएं इस बात को आगे आ गई कि वह अस्पताल के जर्जर हो चुके बेड को ठीक कराकर उनके लिए गद्दे वाले बिस्तर की व्यवस्था कर देंगी। इसके बाद लायंस क्लब आफ पटना फेवरिट को जब यह पता चला कि गैर सरकारी सहयोग से अस्पताल बनाया जा रहा है, तो उन्होंने अपनी ओर से अल्ट्रासाउंड की व्यवस्था कर दी। इसके बाद रुबन मेमोरियल अस्पताल ने बीएमपी कमांड अस्पताल को एक्स-रे मशीन गिफ्ट कर दी। इसके बाद स्टेट बैंक के स्थानीय मुख्यालय के अधिकारी आगे आ गए। दरअसल बीएमपी के जवानों को वेतन स्टेट बैंक से ही मिलता है। स्टेट बैंक ने अपने पैसे से अस्पताल के ओटी को नया शक्ल दे दिया। इस तरह सहयोग का कारवां बढ़ता गया। एक उपेक्षित अस्पताल अत्याधुनिक उपकरणों और वातानुकूलित ओटी से लैस हो गया। एडीजी ने बताया कि अपने चंदे के पैसे से हमलोगों ने अस्पताल के पैथालाजी विभाग के लिए उपकरण व फ्रिज खरीद लिए। अस्पताल नये रूप में शुरू हो गया। यहां बाजार से आधी से भी कम दर पर सिपाहियों को पैथालाजिकल जांच की सुविधा होगी। पूरी तरह से मोर्बोनाइट फर्श और ग्रेनाइट के खंभे वाले इस साफ-सुथरे हास्पिटल में अब सिर्फ एंबुलेंस की कमी है। बीएमपी के पास चार बटालियनों में एंबुलेंस हैं। एक-एक दिन के लिए उसे यहां लाने की योजना पर काम हो रहा है। अस्पताल में अपनी दवाई की दुकान भी हो, इसकी व्यवस्था भी कर ली गई। सरकार से लाइसेंस लेकर अपनी आउटलेट भी शुरू कर दी गई है। अभयानंद के मुताबिक अस्पताल के संचालन के लिए जवानों का एक ट्रस्ट बना दिया जाएगा और वही ट्रस्ट इस अस्पताल को चलाएगा। मामूली शुल्क पर इलाज और जांच की व्यवस्था रहेगी। हर साल ट्रस्ट का चुनाव होगा। अस्पताल को लेकर जवानों में इतना उत्साह है कि वे अपने परिजनों की स्मृति में रिसेप्शन पर टीवी व एक्वेरियम आदि लगवा रहे हैं। बाहर के विशेषज्ञ डाक्टरों की पेड-सर्विस भी शुरू किए जाने की योजना है।

Raw knowledge does not work much, processed knowledge does

Courtsey : BiharTimes.com

Patna, (Bihar Times): In this era of information explosion just providing raw knowledge is not enough. The need of the hour is to disseminate the processed knowledge to the coming generation so that they can digest it and achieve the goal. Just having computer would not work; there is a need of a man to operate it. These were the words expressed by Abhayanand, Additional Director General of Police, while speaking as the chief guest on the occasion of the inauguration of Information and Facilitation Centre of Bihar Rabita Committee, a social organization, at Deep Ganga Complex, opposite to Khuda Bakhsh Library, on Monday.The man, who along with Anand, virtually became synonym to Super-30, was humble eough to share his experiment in the social laboratory of the state. “It was just an experiment which we started six years back. I promise you to do whatever I have learnt in this period. I do not claim that this was the best method, but it was one of the ways to contribute and pay back to the society,” he said.Regarding his interaction with the Muslim community he said that till sometimes back it was only as police officer. But, of late, he got an opportunity to see the other face of the community. “I got answer to several unanswered questions now,” he added.Last year four boys of the community cracked prestigious IIT because of these efforts. He hoped to see some more boys succeeding in the future.Abhayanand, who was earlier this month selected as one of the “50 Pioneers of Change” by India Today, concluded his speech by wishing the Bihar Rabita Committee all the best.Earlier, Maulana Nizamuddin, Amir-e-Shariat, Phulwarisharif, inaugurated the Information Centre, which according to the acting working president of Rabita, Fazle Rab, would cater to the need of the students.Eminent surgeon Dr Ahmad Abdul Hai, Secretary Bihar Rabita Committee, Afzal Husain, directors of International School, Farhat Hasan, Al-Hira Public School (Shahganj), Dr Nazir Ahmad, and Oxfame, Yaqub Ashrafi, were prominent among those present on the occasion.

Police officer takes IIT-JEE winning formula to healthcare

Courtsey : Indian Express

ADGP Abhyanand’s vision: a hospital for Bihar Military Police, planned and funded by the cops themselves

Santosh Singh
Patna, June 20: A sweeper with the Bihar Military Police (BMP), Ganesh Ram had never dreamt that he would inaugurate the BMP Command Hospital—funded and planned almost entirely by 12 BMP battalion—on June 16, while senior police officers clapped for him.
His role at the function had great symbolic value: the hospital is the brainchild of BMP Additional Director General of Police Abhyanand who founded the ambitious Super-30 programme, an educational ‘experiment’ under the Ramanujan School of Mathematics, which trained 30 economically disadvantaged but academically gifted students for the IIT exams each year.
In six years, it produced 150 IITians, and in 2008, all 30 students made it to the top institute. While Super-30 wound to a close this year, Abhyanand hasn’t stalled his mission. Speaking to The Indian Express, he explained, “On getting 100 per cent results, I decided to take the concept to other social fields.”
This time around, the top cop’s goal was to get his constabulary to “collaborate and synergise” to develop a healthcare centre for themselves without relying on government support. “The government-run hospital was already in place, but had been lying almost defunct for years. I involved 12 BMP battalions to stand up for a healthy cause,” said Abhyanand, adding that each battalion contributed Rs 50,000 each from its employees’ amenity fund.
Ultrasound and X-ray machines as well as surgical equipment were contributed by organisations such as the Lions Club and Ruban Memorial Hospital. Although the hospital—now worth more than a crore—had an existing staff of four doctors, several others from private hospitals offered their assistance for the “cause of the constabulary.” While only the OPD functioned, albeit sluggishly, earlier, the centre now has in-patient facilities with 13 beds and a fully equipped air-conditioned operation theatre. It will now serve 16,000 BMP families.
Upendra Prasad Singh of the Bihar Police Association said, “Our emotional contribution to refurbishing the hospital was result of our ADGP’s vision. It is very satisfying to witness the results of our combined efforts.”
Sweeper Ganesh Ram, the man of the moment at the hospital’s opening, said: “I would retire later this month and but will never forget the highest honour BMP has given to a man at its lowest rung.”

Abhyanad is not an individual, rather he is an organisation

Mr. Abhayanand Talking to Media Persons

Courtsey : http://www.twocircles.net

By Tarique Anwar, TwoCircles.net,
Patna: The Rahmani Foundation of Munger organised a function in Patna on 10th June to facilitate successful Muslim students of Super 30, a premier institute which prepares 30 meritorious students every year for IIT JEE (Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination).
Seven Muslim students have cracked IIT JEE 2008 entrance exams. At the function the Rahmani Foundation announced to open a new Super-30 for Muslim students only.
Mr Abhyanand, in the middle, and successful students of IIT JEE
It was in 2003 that Anand Kumar, a local Math wizard, along with state Additional Director General of Police (ADG) Abhayanand, floated the concept of 'Super 30'. Thirty promising, albeit poor, IIT aspirants were selected and coached rigorously for eight months ahead of the IIT JEE in 2003. Eighteen of them cracked the test that year. In 2004, 22 of the 30 came out with flying colours. The number of successful candidates increased to 26 in 2005, 28 in 2006, 30 in 2007 and again 30 in 2008.
Abhyanand is said to be the man behind several reforms in the police department, which improved the law and order situation in the state under the Nitish Kumar Government. The speedy trial drive and the idea of constituting a Special Auxiliary Police (SAP) Force by recruiting retired Army jawans on contract were also his brainchild.
The Rahmani Foundation has decided to open the institute under the guidance of Abhyanand, who teaches Physics in Super-30.
Speaking at the function ADG Abhyanand admitted that Muslims are educationally backward. “I am ready to serve new Super-30 specially meant for Muslims. The management can use me as a teacher, administrator or motivator,” said the ADG. He further said that Maulana Wali Rahmani contacted him and proposed this idea. I promised Maulana to give my full support to it but the condition is that there should be no compromise with the merit of students,” said Abhyanad while addressing the function. He stressed to keep the students at one place in groups so that they can discuss their problems of subjects in group and can find out their solution themselves.

Elaborating on what motivated him to accept Maulana Rahmani’s offer to serve the Muslim community, he said that when he used to go to remote places of Gaya to raid some places, he saw Muslims in very pathetic condition. Their social, economic and educational backwardness compelled him to do so, he said.
“We will discuss the methodology of teaching among those who have promised to teach at this institute. We are trying to increase Muslim participation in the field of education especially in technical fields,” Abhyanand said.
When in a brief press conference TwoCircles.net asked him how he will manage the students of different socio-economic background, he said that on the basis of experience of 6 years he thinks there will be no problem to handle those students. Social diversity hardly leaves any influence on the students. They have only one aim: to compete.
He also requested the Muslim students of Super 30 who have got selected this year to contribute for the proposed institute in their vacations. Abhyanad, who is also a Physics teacher at Super 30, added that if this institute runs honestly on the pattern of Super 30 then we will see 30 Muslim IIT JEE qualified students next year on this stage instead of 4 today.
Addressing the function Professor Ashfaque Karim, Managing director of Katihar Medical College and Hospital, said Abhyanad is not an individual, rather he is an organisation. It is the result of his devotion that we are seeing students in bulk qualifying IIT JEE.

Task master : Abhayanand

Task Master
Amitabh Srivastav ( India Today , 7th July - 2008 Edition )

SPIRIT OF INDIA — EDUCATION
With his sharply-creased police uniform, carefully-combed hair and flashy cell phone, he looks every bit an upwardly mobile IPS officer, and just as every bit out of place in a classroom full of clamouring children.
But there is no doubt that Abhyanand is perfectly at ease here, smiling while teaching Class V students the tenets of mental mathematics, which includes shortcuts to solve problems without the use of multiplication tables.
The Additional Director-General of Police, Bihar Military Police, pops a question and the children look momentarily flummoxed, but Abhyanand patiently nudges them into speaking up, simultaneously provoking them with multiple options.
The indulgent teacher finally smiles when a 10-year-old tells him the right answer and explains why it is so.
“To me, a teacher is someone who never gives the right answer, but keeps asking the right questions. My job is to encourage my students to come up with the right answers,” says the IPS officer with deep conviction in his voice.
“Asking questions is important for a teacher because transferring concepts is not like copying files from one computer and pasting it on another,” says Abhyanand.

Abhyanand with students“We need to activate the students’ brains and develop their lateral thinking abilities.” This is a doctrine that has seen his Super 30 programme click year after year.
The programme—a free IIT entrance coaching course for 30 select youngsters from underprivileged families in rural Bihar—saw 18 out of 30 in the first batch make it to the premier technology institutions in 2003.
The success rate has been soaring with every passing year as 20 students qualified in 2004 and 22 got through the next year. In 2006, the number of students who cleared the entrance was 26, rising to 28 in 2007.
This year, the results for the programme were even better, as everyone from the Super 30 group made the grade in what is widely believed to be one of the toughest and most competitive entrance examinations in the world.
For Abhyanand, who tutors the IIT aspirants in physics, the tryst with teaching began rather by chance in 1989 when his son, Shwetank, then a Class I student, scored zero out of 10 in a class test on single-digit multiplication.
“My wife held me responsible for this, and so I was forced to give teaching a try. I asked my son a question: what is the biggest number in the world? Shwetank was silent for a moment and then said, ‘There can’t be such a number, as I can always add one to it.’ The boy had accidentally come across the concept of infinity, and I discovered the teacher within me,” he reminisces.
“Since then, I started investing time in their studies. Years later, when both my children qualified for the IITs and left for their respective institutes, I felt that I should never lose my ‘inner teacher’— someone who had grown as strong as the part of me that was a cop.”
The B.Sc physics topper from Patna Science College, however, needed to find an outlet. After a few meetings with mathematician and teacher Anand Kumar, who was familiar with the struggles of deprived students, the concept of “Super 30” was born and the duo started the coaching programme in 2002.
The first batch of 30 deserving students—many of whom were children of marginal farmers studying in panchayat schools—was picked after extensively screening the shortlisted students.
They were brought to Patna and provided accommodation, food and gruelling coaching for seven months—all for free. Even today, the students of the programme don’t have to pay for anything.
His friend Kumar takes care of the expenses. The success of the programme was evident with 18 of the 30 students clearing the entrance exam in 2003.
The Super 30 programme was an eye-opener for everyone who thought that only students who could afford expensive IIT coaching could clear the tough entrance examination.
According to Abhyanand, it is the difference in the method of teaching that is responsible for the Super 30’s success. Says Ritesh Ranjan, a student of the programme, “The Super 30 teachers leave nothing to chance. They cover every topic and leave nothing untouched. They also help us develop confidence in our abilities.”
Last year, thanks to the school’s burgeoning reputation, around 10,000 students from all over the country turned up for the entrance test.
The coaching programme may have run out of a thatched hut with creaking benches under a hot tin roof, but a question from a teacher will often see all 30 hands shooting skywards.
The next batch of Super 30 classes is set to begin in September, but without Abhyanand. He has “moved on and will now expand the concept of Super 30 and pick underprivileged Muslim students and train them for competitive exams”.
The IPS officer has some time till then for the Class V students—and for the teacher in him to grow as well. And Abhyanand, once again turns to the young faces, transfixed in silence as he paces in front of a blackboard to explain how 10-digit multiplication problems can be solved without putting pen to paper.
Abhyanand and his students embody the age-old guru-shishya tradition, where the two are bound together by an unusual intellect and a common drive.

Helping dreams come true
With literacy rates lingering at 61 per cent, India still has a long way to go, but it is only when education is taken up as a cause by ordinary citizens, that the difference starts to show. Like Abhyanand of Bihar, who is helping dreams come true for hundreds of underprivileged young students by coaching them for the prestigious IITs, or Pravin Mahajan, whose organisation is educating children of migrant workers
across sugar factories in Maharashtra. One passion binds them all—to spread education to India’s farflung corners in the most basic way. As Amartya Sen asserts, “Widening the coverage and effectiveness of basic education can have a powerfully preventive role in reducing human insecurity of nearly every kind.” The government may build the most grandiose schemes— whether it is the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, that was launched in 2001, or the National Literacy Mission, which began in 1988—but until every literate Indian adopts one who is not, education will remain a luxury.

============================================================

Hi, we all need to take inspiration from a man like Abhyanand, and in our own little way help contributing to society. We are a group of young people in Mumbai who have taken up the responsibility to promote social causes through kids' plays. Kudos to a man like Abhayanand.

A Super - 30 for Muslims

PATNA: Inspired by the stupendous success of the "Super-30" initiative under which 30 poor Bihar students were coached free of cost to crack IIT-JEE by a group of good Samaritans, the Munger-based Rehmani Foundation has made a similar move exclusively for Muslim aspirants. Senior IPS officer Abhayanand, who ended his six-year association with the Super-30 after JEE results were declared this year, has consented to take charge of the coaching centre for Muslims. "It is for the first time this year that all the 30 students made it to IITs, and now this experiment is over for me," Abhayanand had said while announcing his decision to quit the Super-30 move. The Rehmani Foundation, headed by former Bihar legislative council deputy chairman Maulana Wali Rehmani, will provide food and lodging and other required facilities to the 30 Muslim aspirants selected for the coaching every year. The selection test will be held on July 20 at 13 towns, including Patna, Gaya, Biharsharif, Munger, Bhagalpur, Siwan, Kishanganj, Katihar, Purnia, Supaul, Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur and Bettiah. The students, who have secured more than 60% marks in plus-two examinations held not more than two years back, can take the test, said Abhayanand, who is currently Bihar Military Police's additional DG. "This will also be a successful venture," he told TOI on Saturday. As for the faculty, he said, some teachers of other coaching institutes have agreed to take time off their schedules for the new centre. "Few Muslim students crack the JEE but I don't think they lack merit," Abhayanand said. There was no Muslim aspirant in five of the six batches of students coached under the Super-30 initiative, he said. However, four Muslim boys were coached in the sixth batch and all of them were through. Incidentally, Flame, an organisation headed by eminent surgeon Dr A A Hai, had once requested Super-30 to reserve some of the 30 seats for Muslims. "I was against reservation even then," Abhayanand recalled and added he had told Dr Hai to instead inspire Muslim students to clear the mandatory test for getting coached at Super-30 classes.

In Bihar, 16,000 military police jawans have, on their own, built a hospital for their colleagues and the families.It is an attempt to wipe out the cliched brutal face of the police in public perception.The hospital is meant for police personnel and their families.It was a big day for Ganesh Ram, a class four employee in the Bihar Military Police, who inaurated the hospital for the force he worked with for 40 long years.''I never imagined there would be a day when I would be inaugurating a hospital. The credit for this goes to Abhayanand Babu,'' says Ganesh.The sepoys came together to build their very own command hospital. It cost them Rs one crore. Some NGO also chipped in with equipments.However, the inspiration came from Additional Director General Abhayanand at his Super 30 class in Patna.''They could not have achieved this at an individual level. It became possible when all three associations of the Bihar Military Police came together,'' says Abhayanand.The jawans have set an example of the power of self-help and unity.
