I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because it is the best way for me to reach my goal. I want to become an Astronomer. It is my dream to travel in space and solve any mystery of this universe. Students like me can?t keep their ambition so high if there is no any foundation like Dakshana. I belong to a poor family. I have one younger sister and two younger brother. How could I think to be an IITian or Astronomer? Education is very expensive today. Middle-class family think or feel it beyond their rich. But my father motivated me. They told me that if I have talent and if I am good in study, there are some institutes who gave opportunity to their scholars and Dakshana Foundation is best among them. Then, I wishes to become a Dakshana scholar and today I am. Now, I am preparing for IIT JEE and hope that I will crack it. I will be always thankful to Dakshana.
