Ambani led Reliance Entertainment and Phantom Films’ “Super 30” directed by Vikas Bahl and starring Hrithik Roshan in the lead role will release on 23rd November 2018. Super 30 is a story of a mathematics genius from a modest family in Bihar, Anand Kumar, who was told that only a king’s son can become a king. But he went on to prove how one poor man could create some of the world’s most genius minds. Anand Kumar’s training program is so effective that students post cracking IIT have gone on to become some of the most successful professionals. Many students trained under the Super 30 program have joined some of the top global companies like Adobe, Samsung Research Institute, Amazon etc. Anand Kumar said, “I trust Vikas Bahl with my life story and I believe that he will make a heartfelt film. I am a rooted guy so I feel some level of emotional quotient is required to live my life on screen. I have seen that in Hrithik – on and off screen. I have full faith in his capabilities.” Vikas Bahl, truly inspired by Anand Kumar’s initiative, said, “Super 30 is a story of the struggles of those genius kids who have one opportunity and how those 30 amongst thousands of others redefine success. The film will focus on the Super 30 program that Kumar started, which trains 30 IIT aspirants to crack its entrance test.” Vikas Bahl is one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed directors of our country.

  • Tiafoe Seeks First Title, Faces Gojowczyk in Final

Tiafoe's season thus far has been off to a positive start, as he entered the New York Open with 9 career Tour-level wins, and has since notched 6 wins in the last two weeks alone. Should 20-year-old Tiafoe win the title, he will be the youngest American to win a title since 19-year-old Andy Roddick won at 2002 Houston, and he will be the first #NextGenATP American to win a title. Tiafoe will be the fourth consecutive American opponent standing in Gojowczyk's path to his second career title, after the German defeated John Isner, Reilly Opelka and Steve Johnson en route to the final. The last American to defeat Gojowczyk at any level was Tiafoe, who claimed a win at the 2016 Winnetka Challenger event. Since then, Gojowczyk has held an 8-match Tour-level win streak against American opponents (14 at all levels). The American duo of Jack Sock and Jackson Withrow have stormed through the Delray Beach doubles draw this week to earn a spot in their first final together.

  • Political Sociology of Poverty in India: Between Politics of Poverty and Poverty of Politics1
    Anand Kumar 144 3 Political Sociology of Poverty In India: Between Politics of Poverty and Poverty of Politics1 Anand Kumar Although relative differentials exist, absolute deprivation is high in most parts of rural India. For example, about half the population of rural India is illiterate and suffers from ‘capability poverty’; about 40 per cent have extremely low incomes. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan and West Bengal are the most backward states. - India Human Development Report (1999) In 1993-94, when slightly less than 40 per cent of all Indians were below the poverty line, the proportion was 54 per cent for the Scheduled Tribes and 50 per cent for the Scheduled Castes. Though the tribals of India are only about 8 per cent of the total population, they accounted for 40 per cent of the internally displaced population, another major characteristics of poverty. - National Commission on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (2002) Human attainments appear to be better and more sustained in those parts of the country where there is social mobilisation for human development, and where female literacy and empowerment encourages women to have a say in the decision making process at the household level. - National Human Development Report (2001) 1 I am thankful to Prof. David Hulme, Dr. Andrew Shepherd and Prof. Aasha Kapur Mehta for their valuable comments and suggestions on an earlier draft of this paper. 145 Chronic Poverty in India 1. Introduction Political sociology of poverty requires an analysis of the relationship between the political, economic and socio-cultural actors, institutions and processes in the context of poverty.

That may not seem like many, but for the Super 30 centre it's a pass rate of 100 percent," it said. Mohammad Sadab Azam, a student of Super 30, said: "Thanks to Super 30, I cracked the IIT-JEE. Everyone is in a celebratory mood. We are happy." Azam, whose father works as a labourer in a village in Gaya district, said that he had never dreamt of cracking the prestigious exam. "It was all because of Super 30," he said. Anup Kumar, another Super 30 student, said the facilities and encouragement from the faculty made it possible for him to crack the tough exam.
