Bihar and IIT

I came across this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anand_Kumar) of a man coaching students from a relatively underdeveloped state Bihar and how most of the students end up getting admitted to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).

I had earlier had a doubt as to whether this news could be incorrect. (There are so many spurious things in India). A good friend of mine who is fro Bihar disabused me. He told me this news was authentic.  

The guy Anand is amazing. I wish we had more such guys. As of 2017, Mr Anand has been doing a splendid job.
