It is a big motivation to carry on with great zeal. I am thankful to the Mauritius President and Deputy PM for coming all the way to encourage me.
The Super 30 programme achieved wide recognition and led to the making of several documentaries, features in national and international media like BBC, Discovery, NHV, Deench 24, Time and Newsweek magazine and a biopic on Anand Kumar’s life and ‘Super 30’, starring Hrithik Roshan.
