I’d like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I am a poor boy of a rural area bearing a high dream in my mind to become rich. In this world to become powerful or respective we require money as well as knowledge. The both can be found from IIT. Another reason is I want to make some research to invent some new machines which can help in raising power of India. So, from childhood I am dreaming to become an IIT engineer. My family is so poor that they can not afford money for my higher studies. They have looked at me as well as towards my sister?s study also. I have my old grandparents also. There medicines also costs high rate. We are in such a condition that people everyday come to our verandah and quarrel with us to take their money from us. As we are so much rented. My uncle?s family members also depend on us. As my father earns very less, it is be coming difficult for me to buy books also. My parents are also saving some money monthly for my sister?s marriage also. So, to solve our income problem I want to become a rich man. Dakshana is everything foe me. I know through this only I can achieve my goal. As, Dakshana provides free coaching and free books I want to become a Dakshana scholar. For this I am also doing hard labor.

After becoming an IIT engineer also, I will not forget Dakshana foundation. I will also give donations to Dakshana foundation. I will be very thankful to Dakshana for its help to make a good career for me.
