Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
The Dakshana Scholarship should be awarded to me because despite my past knowledge, I cannot clear JEE Advanced on my own, and my family cannot afford coaching for it. So, I am very grateful to Dakshana and their staff for providing this opportunity. If I am not selected for the Dakshana Scholarship, I will not lose hope and will try my best to score good marks in JEE and get into a good college.

Q4. How would you like to contribute to the society and the world when you become a successful?
Once I become successful, I will try my best to contribute my knowledge and devote myself to the development of my country as well as the world. I will also try to create more opportunities for future generations through my knowledge.

Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
When I was a 10-year-old kid, I used to go to a private school and the fees were not affordable for my family. But my father never showed the struggles he faced to give me good education. His struggles motivated me and will continue to motivate me until I make his life comfortable.

Q6. Tell us about your interests and hobbies?
My interest is knowing things that are unknown to us. I like to explore the mysteries of our universe and make everyone aware of them.
