I’d like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I?ve wanted to be an IIT student ever since I was a child. But because of poverty I did not have any hopes for getting ed for IIT. My ion in Navodaya Vidyalaya provided a bit of light in my darkness. It encouraged me to reach my aim. This could only be possible if I could achieve a scholarship like that from Dakshana foundation. When I heard about this project I was very happy. I believe that I am very strong in physics, chemistry and mathematics is my distinction. Thus I am hopeful to attend IIT. In Navodaya we are not familiar with the competition from students outside. I want a scholarship from Dakshana so I can attend IIT and develop my country and decrease poverty. India can become competitive in the future in all spheres. I don?t just want to go to IIT for the money but also because I want to help people. My parents do not have much money to help me take IIT coaching classes and so I want to become a Dakshana scholar.
