I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because my father cannot afford the investment necessary for IIT coaching. I want to attend IIT because I want to become an engineer. Engineers are respected people and can help build nations. I want to become an engineer to support my country and be respected in society. I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar because the foundation will support me in getting into IIT. The Dakshana scholarship will become a milestone for me. I used the think about how I would be able to get coaching. Now with the help of Dakshana I can fulfil my dreams. I have made a promise to myself that I will become a good engineer and a good citizen, and will help the poor. I will help those people that want to pick themselves from the earth and reach for the sky. They have the talent and intelligence, but do not have the advantage of ??paisa.?? I am very thankful to Mohnish Pabrai, the founder of this foundation, for proving that he is a true Indian citizen.
