Toronto: Anand Kumar, who shot into fame
with his `Super-30` programme that prepares underprivileged
students for the challenging IIT exams, has been honoured in
Canada for his contributions to the society.

"Your exceptional teaching career is laudable. I am
pleased to welcome Anand Kumar to British Columbia for his
remarkable way of spreading the light of education in the
darkened corners of the society," Naomi Yamamoto, the Minister
for Advanced Education of British Columbia said while
welcoming Kumar to the Canadian province.

Marc Dalton, MLA, initiated a proposal in the British
Columbia legislature to honour Kumar. The proposal was passed
unanimously.

"His inspiring tale is something that can act as a big
motivation for all teachers. He deserves to be honoured," he
added.

At a glittering function in Vancouver, Dalton presented a
citation on behalf of the government to Anand.

In his address, Anand said he was overwhelmed with the
honour.

"But it is my entire team and the hard work of the
underprivileged students that deserves this honour. I am just
doing what is close to my heart, as it gives me pleasure," he
added.
