I want to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I want to become an engineer. I belong to a poor family and my father is a farmer, so it

very difficult for him to fund my education. With the help of the Dakshana foundation I am moving towards my goal. Dakshana is providing us free quality

coaching, books and proper guidance. Some time ago I didn?t even think about IIT as tuition cost for IIT-JEE is very high. After becoming an engineer from

IIT I will donate half of my salary to Dakshana as it will help more and more student to achieve their goal. I am very thankful to the Dakshana Foundation

for providing me a free quality education for the IIT-JEE exam.
