I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT
I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I belong to a very poor family from a rural background. My father is a clerk and is the only person that earns an income in the family. Even though my family isn?t large we still have a lot of problems. My grandfather and grandmother are both in their 80?s. My sister recently got married and my grandmother had an operation. After these expenses, we do not have a lot of money left over to take care of our household expenditures. Thus I would not be able to get the facilities for IIT-JEE coaching. That is why I would like to become a Dakshana scholar. I want my dream to come true and Dakshana will help me progress.
