I’d like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because my parents are so poor that they could not provide me money for coaching classes because IIT coaching in private institutes are very costly. I’d like to become a Dakshana scholar because it will give us free IIT-JEE coaching for the ed students. This will be very helpful to us in getting into IIT. The IIT institutes are very strong institutes through which we will be able to get good jobs. Through this I can serve my parents and I will be able to solve their economic problems. I am very thankful to Dakshana foundation for providing me with IIT coaching. I promise that I will serve Dakshana foundation in the future. A person who provides education teaches another person to earn a living is greater than one who provides food daily. This is what Dakshana is doing and I would like to become a Dakshana scholar and receive this education.
