My father Mr. Prasant Kumar Mishra is a very hard working person for which I always aspire to become an honest person like my father. He is working as an Data Entry Operator in the tehsil department, in his free time he likes to play chess with me or with my sister. My mother Mrs. Namitarani Mishra is very kind hearted woman. She is my ultimate inspiration and my one and only soul motivator in every ups and downs in my life. She is a very hardworking housewife. My sister is currently a bachelors student, she guided me throughout my student carrier till date.

Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
I think I am the right person to be awarded with this scholarship. As I already explained I am from below middle class family and I could not afford the fatty lumpsump amount of fees of big reputed coaching institute for my jee preparation. Thatswhy i need this scholarship and moreover its since 2017 that i dreamt to become a dakshana scholar and DAAN member when i even does not know what is IIT. For me Dakshana is not just a free scholarship rather it's an emotion, which I can't express in words.

Q3. What is your ambition in life?
In my life I have planned a lot of things to do, but ultimately they leads to the same goal that is to create another dakshana like institution and that's it, my main ambition in life.

Q4. How would you like to contribute to the society and the world when you become a successful?
if i become that much successful which i have planned then i will just do the same thing which Mohnish sir is doing right now that is philanthropy. If i did not become that much successful then i will just simply join Dakshana as Dakshana Fellow or faculty to help my junior brother and sister in their journey through dakshana.

Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
I see one of our IITian brother who helled from the same condition which i belongs. Through his dedication he made his own destiny to iit. His life story helped me to ignite the spirit within me to do better in life inspite of the circumstances which I am facing.
