I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I want to become an engineer. IIT engineers are considered the most talented

engineers in India. I want to attend IIT. Dakshana is giving us free coaching for IIT exam preparation. I belong to a poor family and it would be

impossible for me to get such type of education on my own. My parents are helpless to provide me a good education. My father is a farmer and is

dependent on the rain. We do not have sufficient land so my parents have to labour very hard. With the passage of time their health is getting worse. This

hurts me very much. I want to be able to help them and become a good engineer. I want to do something great in my life and make my country strong. In this

era, it has become very difficult for the poor to provide a good education for their children. This is why I want to join Dakshana Foundation. It provides

a great education and facilities for its students. The students only have to work hard to achieve their goal.
