I’d like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I belong to a middle class family. I was five when my father had passed away. From that time onwards my mother gave me all the facilities that I want. I have never seen a single, sadness on her face. I know that my mother has a low income. She cannot afford me to study in a good school. Yet, I have a brother too who is studying commerce. So, it will be a burden if I want IIT coaching at this stage as my brother is elder than me. My mother has to think for his bright future. I feel bit awkward when some one from a rich aristocrat person passes by my side with black Mercedes car. I heard about Dakshana and joined that dream. I have seen a dream of being I well known F-1 Racer having fame and name. To fulfill my dream I choose IIT. I had heard from elders that it is the toughest exam in engineering field. My mother kept all her miseries in her heart and gave us happiness. Poverty is the main cause of my family.

?People don?t do different things they do things differently?
Dakshana gives every thing that we need in IIT. I am thankful to Mr. Ramesh Bhatija that his inspiration bought me into my track. He has also given me and golden opportunity to do something different in my life. If I would be eligible for IIT in future, then after being successful, I would give her the same happiness that she had given me since my childhood. My brother is my great idol. There are about 99% people who don?t speak good English. Dakshana foundation gives those students a chance to prove themselves that what they can do. By getting a chance, I had changed my life by taking responsibility and self-dependent. In my whole career, I never ask a single friend about my doubts either I would ask my elders and I solve by myself. This is the change I had in my life.
