I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT it is one of my all time favourite dreams. I want to pursue a technical course and IIT?s, under GOI, are the best institutes in world providing technological education. Everybody tries to achieve something in area of engineering would have dreamt of attending an IIT, me being no exception. My father, being a physical labourer-cum-sometimes-a-car driver cannot afford me the high cost of coaching in any good coaching centre. Thanks to Dakshana that it supports impoverished children to fulfil their dreams of attending IIT?s. I am fully confident to compete IIT-JEE with the help of expertise of the Dakshana Foundation.

Having lived in the protected environment of a Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV), I was not aware of fiery competition outside. As my Higher Secondary Studies proceeded my acquaintances and teachers introduced me to the environment outside. I found that dreaming of attending an IIT?s without coaching is a hard nut to crack. Hence, I am here in the Dakshana Foundation, trying to achieve a scholarship so that my dream of attending an IIT could be fulfilled.
