Super 30 founder Anand Kumar to be ‘Honorary Ambassador of Korea Tourism’ 2024

Korea has also come up with the Korea Super 30 travel packages to let the young students visit the country without hassles and explore the opportunities and get acquainted with the culture, he said, adding Kumar’s pioneering initiative in the field of education would encourage bright students to explore the opportunities South Korea offers.

“It will offer an opportunity to Indians, especially the students of the 14-18 age group, to explore Korea’s vibrant culture, historic landmarks, and delightful cuisine, creating lasting memories. Parents also can nominate their children for the Korea Super 30 programme by filling out the application form,” said Myong Kil Yun.

Kumar said it was a good initiative in modern times to give students the much-needed exposure to a technologically advanced country. “For me, it will be a new experience to be part of a student exchange programme at the international level. In modern times, distance does not matter. I am looking forward to this new campaign,” he added.

Kumar said that becoming the Hon Ambassador of Korean Tourism was not the recognition of Anand the teacher, but all teachers of India. “It also shows the respect an educationally advanced nation like South Korea gives to teachers,” he added.

The Super 30 was founded by Kumar, a mathematics teacher, in 2002. The programme selects 30 talented candidates each year from economically underprivileged sections of Indian society and trains them for the JEE-Main and JEE-Advanced, the entrance examination for the India Institute of Technology (IIT).
