I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I want to become an excellent engineer by qualifying for IIT. I belong to a very poor family. My aim from early childhood is to become an IIT?ian. However, my father cannot afford IIT coaching because he has other family members that need his help. Dakshana Foundation has come to my life as a stick to a blind person. Since I have no other way of reaching my dream, I will study hard and take my work sincerely. Dakshana is providing me all the study materials, teachers that are highly talented, and daily practice tests. I am very thankful to my teachers and all members of Dakshana foundation for helping me reach my goal. I am sure that after one year when I give the IIT test, I will be ed. After being ed I will take an active part in Dakshana foundation. I will become a responsible member of Dakshana Foundation and help other poor children. This will uplift these children and their families and ultimately the country. I will work sincerely in making my nation a developed one, and open other opportunities for the poor children of the nation. May God help me in achieving my goal.
