I belong to rural background and my father is a farmer. My parents do not have a lot of money for good coaching from IIT institutes. I want to become an IIT?ian and do something for our country and the progress for my motherland. Because of the condition of my family I am not able to prepare for the IIT. For this support I am very thankful to Dakshana and I will work very hard. I am hopeful that I will achieve my goal. Without Dakshana I would never set a goal to reach the IIT. Another reason I want to attend IIT is because my family has only my father?s income to depend on.
My thoughts and dreams for my country are very large. I will work very hard and not waste any time. I will use the opportunity given to me by Dakshana and use the many options that I now have in life. I want my achievements to serve my country, village, family, and of course for Dakshana. I am very serious in my aim to get into IIT.
