Congratulations!

Dear Scholars,

Greetings from Dakshana!

Hope you are safe and healthy. As you are aware, due to COVID 19, the start of the Dakshana 1-year Scholarship Program at Dakshana Valley has been delayed till further directives from the government.

Thank you for connecting with us on the Document Verification Meeting. We have pleasure in informing you that you have been selected provisionally for the Dakshana 1-year Scholarship Program. There is a possibility that due to Government norms of social distancing, we may be able to only invite a selected number of scholars to our campus for live coaching. Hence this year we will be running the Dakshana 1-year Scholarship Program (2020-2021) in a combination of live and online mode. The final selection of who will be invited for live coaching to the Dakshana Valley and who will continue to be a part of the online program will depend on various factors. More about that later!
