Raghav Gehlot

Lord Rama Higher Secondary School Madhya Pradesh
I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT

Q1. Introduce your Family to us ?
My family is small and a very happy family. We are only three members. My father's name is Rajendra Gehlot, and he is a very hardworking farmer. My mother's name is Papita Bai; she is a housewife. They love me very much. They like to stay together with me.

Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
I should be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship because I want to go to IIT, and I know it becomes easier to crack one of India’s toughest exams, JEE Advanced, as Dakshana provides quality education free of cost. The rate of selection into IIT from Dakshana is higher compared to other coaching institutes. If I am not selected by the Dakshana Foundation, I will most probably take a drop and continue my JEE preparation through online and self-study.

Q3. What is your ambition in life?
My ambition in life is to become an engineer and entrepreneur from IIT and make my parents proud by clearing one of the toughest exams—JEE Advanced. I want to become a successful businessman and investor and improve my family's life.

Q4. How would you like to contribute to the society and the world when you become a successful?
I will contribute to society and the world by donating to institutes like Dakshana Foundation, which provide quality education to meritorious students from rural backgrounds and make their lives better through education. If I am able to open an NGO, it would be like the Dakshana Foundation. I am also a nature lover, and I will spread awareness about the damage caused by human greed such as pollution and global warming. I would like to spread knowledge about being healthy and fit.

Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
The incident that inspired me was when I was studying at home while my parents were working in the fields in the summer. My father came to me and told me to just focus on studying and that they would handle everything. At that moment, I realized the hardships they faced. From that day, I decided to work hard, become successful, and give them a better life.

Q6. Tell us about your interests and hobbies?
I have keen interest in learning new skills like learning languages and new technological skills. My hobby is making new friends. I like playing volleyball and mobile games.
