Director General of Police, Bihar

Speedy Trial

Abhayanand is said to be the brain behind the speedy trial and convictions of criminals in Bihar, one of the states in India. Bihar was infamous for its notorious criminals. Abhayanand came up with the concept of speedy trial to reign in the crime and criminal in this state of India. He wanted the police to focus more on conviction. Arms Act, he believed was a very powerful which the police can use to instill fear of law in the unabating lawbreakers in Bihar. As policemen themselves can be witnesses in a Arms Act chargesheet, he thought there wouldn't be the risk of not getting witnesses or witnesses turning hostile. There were a record number of convictions, including that of some of very powerful bahubalis (musclemen). This had a huge impact on the law and order condition in Bihar. In 2010 alone, 14,311 persons were convicted in speedy trials out of which 37 persons were awarded capital punishment and 1,875, life imprisonment. As Abhayanand had envisoned, this instilled the fear of law in the lawbreakers. This initiative has drawn the attention of many across the world. Princeton Review has done a study on this.

Special Auxiliary Force (SAF)

When there was a political will in the state of Bihar in 2005 to curb the menace created by unlawful elements, Abhayanand saw that there was manpower shortage in Bihar Police force to carry out operations against Naxalites and criminal gangs. He then came up with the idea of recruiting retired army men. Given that the ex-army men are already trained in arms and combats there was no ramp up time needed for them. They are ready to contribute day one. The state government quickly gave a buy in for this idea and shortly 5000 ex-army men were recruited by the Bihar state police force. This concept soon became a role model and other states such as Orissa, Madhya Pradesha and Jharkhand started recruiting ex-army men.

Super 30

Abhayanand conceptualized the programme Super 30, a free tutorial to coach 30 bright youngsters from underprivileged families of rural Bihar for the IIT entrance test. He wanted to give an opportunity to talented children from poor families to compete with the more privileged ones for the IIT Joint Entrance Examination. Students for this program were selcted through a competitive exam. The students who got selected then had to live at one place and prepare for the IIT-JEE under the academic mentor ship of Abhayanad. He started this endeavor in 2003 when 18 children qualified for entrance test and then consequently 22 in 2004, 26 in 2005, 28 in 2006, 30 in 2007 and 30 again in 2008.

Rahmani 30

From 2003 to 2008 Abhayanand used to coach the students along with Anand Kumar. However he split from Anand Kumar in 2007 and then wanted to take his social experiment to a wider forum so that more under-privileged but talented children can benefit out of it. He started a program called Rahmani 30 where under privileged muslim students were selected and then coached for the JEE. In the inaugural year of Rahmani 30, 2009 all of the 10 students part of this program had cleared JEE. In 2010, 4 students out of 12 cracked entrance test. 3 out of 15 Rahmani30 students cleared the exam in 2011.

As quoted be Abhayanand "the number in the name does not signify the number of students who were part of the group".

Super 30 multiplies to districts; Magadh Super 30, Triveni Super 30 Patna

Abhayanand also wanted the society to realize its potential by helping the under-privileged children to compete for one of the toughest examination of India. He provides academic mentor ship to students of Magadh Super30, a program sun by the people of Gaya on similar lines as Super30. Magadh Super 30 was started in 2008.
