I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because my parents have no income for my higher studies. I am a talented student and have received good results in my school. I qualified in the NTSE examination. My aim is to clear the IIT exam. My father is a primary school teacher and my mother is a housewife. I have a brother also and my parents have to pay for his education as well. For this reason it is very difficult for my parents to spend money on my education. Up till now I am a student of Jawahar Novodaya Vidayalaya, which is for poor, talented students. I have a dream to become an IIT?ian but due to the disability of my parents I am not able to do it. I want to be a Dakshana scholar so I can fulfill my dream.
