1. Six Grade-10 students from RAHBAR Coaching make it to Diploma Engg: What’s the future of the 100% pass-outs of 10th Board BSSEB exam? The counseling for admission of the Zero-to-Hero students of RAHBAR coaching centres took place between August 30 and 1st September, for the 7 boys (4 from Patna and 3 from Darbhanga centre). One of them could not make it, but 6 of them are now attending classes. Subhanallah! The admission fees (6 x Rs. 2,500) were arranged, alhamdolillah, by BA members. We are urging benevolent brothers and sisters to come forward to sponsor the monthly living expenses of these boys for whose families, the Diploma Engg course of MANUU could turn the fates around, from sheer hopelessness to confident engineers, alhamdolillah!

3. RAHBAR Coaching Centre, Gopalganj, was visited by brother Shabbir Ahmad Sb (ETA group, Dubai) on 21st September 2010. Following is a brief report from him:
During my vacation I visited RAHBAR Coaching Center, Gopalganj (http://gopalganj.biharanjuman.org/) on 21st September 2010 at 8.00 am. The coaching is currently going on, in the morning session, from 6.00 to 9.00 am. The attendance was not more than 50% due to continuous rains. I met three teachers who teach Maths, Science & English. I enquired about their qualifications, which was found to be satisfactory - they are all graduates in their respective subjects. I also enquired about the performance of students. From discussion with teachers, I realized that there are three types of students: good, average and poor. Poor students are from under privileged families and they don't have basic concept of the subjects and it is very difficult to teach them the school curriculum (syllabus). I advised them to divide students into two groups and clear the basics of poor students first, before teaching them from syllabus. The teachers also informed me that there is a rush of more than required number of students, due to free coaching and asked me, "Can we enrol more students?" I advised them to manage the students already enrolled, first, and produce acceptable result, before taking any more students.
