I’d like to become a Dakshana Scholars and hopefully attend IIT because from the very little age when I saw a machine working then I had the desire to know the fact behind it, to know about a machine, why and how it works. Whether the machine is living or non living? Why is it unable to communicate with us? Like these thousands of questions come to my mind. I thought that I cannot develop a machine.I have adesire to develop a machine with my own ideas. After that when I saw a computer being used for various purposes like organizing facts figures ,raw data etc. I also save them for future use and it is also used for the purpose of entertainment, research etc.Then a question comes to mind ? How does it work? Firstly I got a chance to operate computer in Navodaya. Then an interest developed in me to prepare a software of my own for research purpose.
Then I knew that all these dreams were just like a water bubble , because in today?s commercial world poor students like me have no chance for higher studies and show my intelligence. Therefore my poverty became a full stop to the sentence of my desire. But wherever there is darkness there is an extraordinary opportunity for the light to glow.
Dakshana Foundation gave me a path in the missing world of money. It is only way for poor students like me to show my potentiality, capability and intelligence. No doubt we are poor but not lagging behind in studies. But now a days , in the commercial world money can buy anything. Therefore we were not getting chance to show our originality and we are not able to compete with them.
Obviously, Sir/Madam , this purpose of serving the poor students and helping them to show their talent and to have a good and prestigious job in the materialistic world is a great mankind purpose. This is not the thinking of ordinary person but the mentality of extraordinary one. This is like showing a path of enlightenment in the deep darkness. Therefore I would specially thank to the person who introduced this idea and implemented . The Dakshana Foundation gives the poor students a chance to develop themselves and have name and fame in the progressive world.This institutions helps the poor and intelligent student who are unable to show their talent in life. This institution also makes the dream real.
I promise to you Sir/Madam that I will glaze like the pearl in the night and enlight others in the deep darkness.
