I'd like to join DAKSHANA and hopefully attend IIT because I want a bright future which is why I want to gain an entry into Dakshana and finally into IIT .
I belong to an economically challenged family and my father is a farmer who spends all his earnings in meeting the expenses of the family. This is the reason why it is difficult for him to educate all four of us brothers and sisters.
If I am at Dakshana, then my father's problems get reduced to an extent and I too receive a good education.
I belong to an agricultural area so it is very difficult to get coaching for IIT. If I get selected for IIT through Dakshana, then all the problems ailing my family will get resolved and I can teach my younger brother and sister.
If I get selected in IIT, I can improve the condition of my village. In the rural areas, studying for engineering is a big thing. I am the first person from my village who has stepped out to get coached for IIT and I will try my level best to get selected.
