I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because It is my childhood dream. I am so aspired to attend the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), but cannot afford to be coached professionally by a word class IIT coaching institute. The Dakshana Foundation provides comprehensive scholarships to gifted/improvished adolescents who meet criterias. My father is a grassarman and he runs a small business in market. He runs our family very conservly and upto his potential. But it is not possible for my father to join me in any coaching centre. Admission in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Banipur(JNVB) was a great opertunity for me and my family. It is totally fees free. And when I knew about Dakshana foundation, it became my goal to crack it.because it is like a gateway to bit IIT-JEE exam. It would be second time from our locality if I could crack IIT-JEE. But coaching is helpfull for IIT-JEE. And when this opertunity comes, people should utilise it. In class seventh, I first heard about Dakshana Foundation. Our senior students were so eagered to get Dakshana scholarship. And this inspired me so much. In our school Biology Sir used to day that ?target should be moon, atleast your thrown goal would reach upto the treetop? Now man can walk at moon?s soil. So why can I dream so. It is very joyfull when dreams come true.
