I’d like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because It has been my dream from my childhood to join the best engineering college of India. I have a lot of interest in the field of Information Technology (IT). I always dream to get a job in Microsoft. I want to join IIT because it is not only a best engineering college of India, but of the whole world. Lot of worlds greatest companies give priority to IITian rather than the degree holders from other colleges. This is the highest reason for my dream of becoming an IITian. I have always done well in phi, chem., and math in my earlier years. I know that I?ve the stuff to get through IIT-JEE, which is the toughest exam on this planet. But money is the greatest hindrance between me and my destination. My poor economical back-ground can?t support my coaching for IIT-JEE. And without a proper coaching it is almost impossible to get through IIT-JEE. So, the only thing that I need is a helping hand to support me economically. Dakshana is one such helping hand which has taken the challenge of providing support and help in every aspect to those students who are gifted or talented but impoverished. If I can join Dakshana then I?m sure that I?ll get through IIT. I want to see tears, not smiles, and those only of happiness and joy in the eyes of my parents. I want to fulfill all their wishes. I will help Dakshana to achieve the objective of helping the impoverished. I don?t want my education to become a burden on my parents. I want to help myself through my studies. I want to see my country at the top of the world, ruling all others in the field of IT and I will work to my end for this destination. And last but not the least I?ll help in the eradication of poverty from my country.
