I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I belong to an economically challenged family. In spite of this, I do not want to earn a lot of money after passing out of IIT, but I want to become a knowledgeable engineer so that I can focus on some new research ideas which will benefit both my country and my school thus bringing them glory.
Every one aspires to have a good job and take care of the needs of their family thus discharging their duty. I will definitely fulfill my responsibilities but at the same time I would like to be of some help to my school and my country.
In the 7 years that I have studied at Navodaya, I have received the love and care of a family in my upbringing, hence it is my duty to help my school in every way that I can. In the same manner, I must help my country in any way I can as I am a responsible citizen of India.
Thus I would like to end by saying that I want to become an IITian and help my country scale the greatest height possible.
Thank You
