I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I belong to an economically challenged family. My financial condition is pathetic.
From the time I started going to school and understanding the pain and suffering that others face, I thought of becoming an IAS officer in order to reduce the sorrow of these innocent people through honest and dedicated hard work. By becoming an upright citizen of India and contributing towards it 's development, peace, progress etc I will make myself, my parents and teachers proud. However, in order to achieve all this, an excellent quality of education is essential. God has fulfilled this desire of mine by providing an organization like Dakshana, which through it's coaching, ensures cent percent success in the IITJEE. I' d like to thank this organization for helping me realize my dreams. I will be successful. I will take India to unimaginable heights and work with all my heart and soul to reduce the poverty and unemployment prevalent in the country. The goal that I have set for myself is as follows :
Dakshana Foundation course >IITJEE - - >IIT Kanpur /Delhi - >
engineer>IAS - - >serve the country.
So far I have not traveled across the country but I have observed my village minutely. My village, Jaitpur, is adjacent to dense jungles where there is neither a trace of electricity nor a shadow of a hospital. If someone falls ill, where will he /she go for treatment? There is no transport facility and the main road is five kms away. If one has to go to the market, first the 5 kms have to be traveled on foot. This is the condition of my village and if we look across the country, there must be many more such villages. This situation is a source of constant worry for me. The residents of my village have placed their trust in me hoping that one day I will become an IAS officer and improve the condition of my village. I am very happy at the thought that my dream will definitely come true and Dakshana will play an important role in fulfilling it. This is my firm belief.
