I’d like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I want to get a seat in IIT. From 6th grade onwards, I dream of IIT. Many students who studied in my school always talked about IIT as the most prestigious institutions in India. Parents dream that their child become and IAS office but I want to become an IIT?ian. These days, the world is fast and we have to run with it. Not a second can be wasted to relax in this competitive world. Those who have the ability are catching the new world and having a prestigious, happy life. Every person has a wish to have a successful life. I also desire that and I am determined to reach my goal in life in this world of competition. Because of my family?s economic condition, I made a decision to come back to JNV in the 11th standard. Luckily I was informed about the Dakshana foundation and its offer to give scholarships for IIT coaching. I attended the Dakshana entrance exam and now I am grateful to Dakshana foundation for giving me this opportunity. I wish I will draw a maximum worth of knowledge from the teaching staff and books with my hard work and will be successful in this venture.

From JNV Nellore, Andhra Pradesh.
