In impoverished Bihar, math teacher Anand Kumar and his dedicated colleagues choose the 30 most promising and at-need local students and for eight grueling months train them rigorously for the all-important entrance exams for the Indian Institute of Technology. With entrance to IIT nearly guaranteeing a high paying job and a financial secure future upon graduation, the stakes could not be higher for the young students and their families. Along with the hard sacrifices and selfless dedication from others, SUPER 30 shows the real power of education to remake lives and communities.
