I’d like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I would not have so much facility if you have not conducted this examination. As a worker in NTPC my father would not have facilitated me with so much various types of books of such high cost. I have another two sisters and a brother younger than me and it would not be possible to spent money for coaching for me in these two years.
You are the one giving me a golden opportunity to prepare for IIT-JEE without taking a single rupee. So I assure you that I will try my best and by hook or crook I will get IIT. My actual aim is to become an IAS officer and now-a-days the no. of IITians are more in this IAS post and thus I was strongly determined to be an IITian from 9th and if there were no such opportunity, it perhaps not would be possible for me to struggle for IIT with all responsibility of the school in the hand of 11th standard. Here we are very much free from the preparation for programmes of school, various activities like PET, Games (etc.) and we are getting enough time to spent on studies. So I will try to complete the books given by the Dakshana foundation.
I will enrich me with the increament of yarin of coins (knowledge).
I am really very much thankfull to the Dakshana organisation for giving me such a great opportunity.
