DAKSHANA STARTED DELIVERING ON ITS MISSION IN 2007 AND PRESENTLY 1200+ DAKSHANA SCHOLARS ARE SIMULTANEOUSLY UNDERGOING COACHING TRAINING, FULLY FUNDED BY DAKSHANA, AT 7 LOCATIONS ACROSS INDIA.
Dakshana presently prepares brilliant but impoverished students for the IIT and medical Entrance examinations. Large swaths of our scholars come from rural and disconnected India. There is no alternative natural source of funding available for these deserving students to pursue their dreams.
