I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I think the greatest opportunity for the present generation is to get into IIT. I aspire to become an IIT?ian. However this is a great task and is expensive. As soon as I heard about Dakshana and its goal in providing free IIT coaching to economically backwards students, I wanted to become a Dakshana scholar.
This is a great opportunity for me because the coaching enables me to get into IIT. It has been a dream since childhood to become an engineer. However the economic backwardness of my family prevented me to reach my dream.
Dakshana is a great institution. I am happy that someone came up with an idea to help talented students from economically backward classes. As a major portion of the country is in this category, this foundation will be very successful in its attempt.
