I would like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because my wish is to get admission into a good branch of engineering. These days, the world is applying advanced techniques of science in every field, but our country is still lagging behind. So everyone should give his hand in the progress of country. If I get admission into IIT, I will work hard and I will work for the betterment of my country. Seeing me as an example, my friends will like to join the IITs. I will be an example for them. It is not possible for me to receive IIT coaching as my family's economic condition is not good. Due to this reason I want receive free coaching provided by Dakshana Foundation. In our country, many scholars go to abroad after finishing their education and give their talent to that country. I will not do that. I am going to live here and help the advancement of my country. This is the age of competition and I do not want to remain behind. I will do very hard work and get into IIT.
