I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because since childhood I am having an AIM to become an IITian and then a successful engineer. My family background is not so wealthy an that I can afford private coaching for IIT and AIEEE. Dakshana scholars are brilliant but impoverished students who aspire to attend Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) but cannot afford to be coached professionally by a world class IIT-JEE Coaching institute And hence I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT.
Every year the Dakshana Foundation is helping hundreds of brilliant but impoverished students in fulfilling their dreams and also the dreams of their parents. Many among these students belongs to farmer family. They do not even have sufficient capital to study after 12th class. IIT or AIEEE or be a engineer is a great thing for them.
To be an IITian is a great matter of prestige. And reputation. Ones life gets changed through IIT. And to get through IIT Dakshana foundation is the best way & opportunity for a talented but impoverished students.
Dakshana foundation is not only helping the student in fulfilling their dreams but also it is helping the nation?s development Because it is said ? Today?s students is the Future of the country? and Dakshana is making the students future bright.
As per the situation of my family and my family?s background I'd have to become an engineer through IIT. It would may change our situation. I do not have an elder brother in my family who would serve our family.
After becoming a Dakshana Scholar I will work hard and will get through IIT and then I will serve my family and my Nation. Thats my aim and motto.
