PATNA: Buddhist spiritual leader and Nobel laureate the Dalai Lama will felicitate Super-30 founder Anand Kumar, whose pioneering initiative has helped many poor students crack the IIT-JEE, at a function organised by the Bihar Foundation's Mumbai chapter in Mumbai on February 19.
The Dalai will also deliver a discourse on 'Introduction to Buddhism' at the function to which Anand has been invited as the chief guest, foundation spokesperson Ragini Gautam said.
Talking to TOI over phone from Mumbai, Gautam said the foundation last year opened a Bihar medical centre for low income group patients at Nagpara in Mumbai.
The foundation, launched in 2008 at the initiative of the NDA government of Bihar, is an attempt to develop brand Bihar and revive its lost glory. It aims to provide a socio-cultural platform to the Bihari diaspora at the national and global levels and has a steadily growing membership among all sections of the society.
The foundation, which also has seven chapters in foreign countries, has been playing an instrumental role in bettering the image of Bihar and Biharis.
