Q1. Introduce your Family to us ?
My father is a barber. He completed his 12th standard and discontinued B.Sc. Maths. He is a hardworking and respected person in society. My mother is a housewife. She used to work on a farm as a daily wager. She is a caring and kind personality. My younger brother has started his journey as a Navodayan and he is a lateral entry student.

Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
I should be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship if I have talent. As I got selected as a Dakshana scholar, I want to use all the resources efficiently and achieve as much as I can. If I had not been selected, I would have studied in my parent JNV.

Q3. What is your ambition in life?
I want to become an engineer or pursue any field that involves a deep understanding and application of physics to serve my nation.

Q4. How would you like to contribute to the society and the world when you become a successful?
I want to contribute to society by working on prestigious missions for India.

Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
Many incidents in my life have motivated me. My father used to motivate me a lot. One that inspired me was the story of Einstein in class 9 English NCERT text, which shows how a person following his interests can achieve greatness. During the corona pandemic, I studied in a low-class state school compared to the private school where I was earlier. That fear of my future motivated me to do better academically. Slowly, I improved myself and cleared the JNV entrance exam.

Q6. Tell us about your interests and hobbies?
I am interested in solving new problems and puzzles, especially those I am unfamiliar with. My hobbies are reading books and playing cricket.
