I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I want qualify for the IIT. My family wants me to do something different in my life.

My uncle?s son has qualified for the NDA. My aim is to do something like what he has achieved. Before being accepted as a Dakshana scholar, I wanted to

join the army. Because my family is not so rich, Dakshana offered me money for IIT-JEE coaching. I feel that god has given me a chance because I am good in

math and science. I want people to say that he did something in his life. This is why I changed my mind and decided to take coaching classes for the IIT.

My only target is to qualify for IIT and fulfil the dreams of my parents, which they were not able to do. I will be very thankful to Dakshana if I am able

to qualify for the IIT. I will be able to get a good job and will be able to help the poor who have the potential to do something in their life but do not

have the money to study. I have decided that I will give some money from my income to Dakshana so that the institution can continue it work to give coaching to students from poor families. I am very thankful to the people who started this institute.
