I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I belong to a middle class family. My family lives in a village. It has been my ambition since childhood to do something for my family and my village, and make them proud of me. But there isn?t a good school in our village, and going to the city to study was impossible. My father?s income does not allow him to provide me with good education along with supporting the family.

I had filled the form of Navodaya when I was in 5th class and I had passed their test with God?s grace. When I came in Navodaya I knew if I worked hard I could fulfill my dream. When I will reach class 10th, God give me one more opportunity for success. It was the Dakshana Scholarship Test. I filled the form and I passed this examination too.

When I came to Dakshana I knew that my future studies would be better because they provided me all the facilities which are required to study.

I came here and I thought I will crack IIT but lots of students appear in this exam and only some of them get good rank. I started to think, what is so special in this exam that a very low ratio of students passed. I strongly believe, if I work hard, I will surely get success in IIT.

At last but not least, I would like to thank the Dakshana Foundation for providing me with this good opportunity to achieve success.
