I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I am from a rural lower middle class family. From my childhood I dreamt to be an engineer. When I grown up and went to higher classes, I knew about all engineering?s. Among them, IIT is best. From those days, I targeted to get into IIT. But due to financial problem, my parents can?t afford coaching or tuitions for it. My father is simply a businessman who is the only person to feed our whole family. Also he spends money for our study. This little income is not sufficient simultaneously to feed and spend money for books and materials. But Dakshana Foundation comes to me as God gift. If Dakshana Foundation will help me to get into IIT, I will be very much faithfully to the foundation and I also assure you that I will try my best to help needy and poor people who have the talent but due to financial problem they can?t show their talent. I?ll try to improve their living standards and help them.

Although there was my Informatics Practices (IP) Board exam on 31st March but I gave the test for Dakshana Scholar on 30th March with a hope to be an Dakshana Scholar and I was short listed .If I am ed for coaching, I will be very happy and I will owe my duty to keep good rank in IIT Exam. I will be very much thankful to the foundation.
