Damalla Thrikanya

JNV Khammam - I Telangana
I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT

Q1. Introduce your Family to us ?
My father is a farmer, and my mother is a private school teacher. She teaches social studies. I have a younger brother who is studying in 12th standard and is also taking CLAT coaching at JNV Ranga Reddy. We like spending time together, and on special occasions, we go for field visits and movies. My uncle lives in Hyderabad and works as a private employee.

Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
I am a student aspiring to crack JEE, but due to lack of faculty in our Vidyalaya, I couldn’t. However, I cracked JEE Mains but didn’t have enough preparation to clear JEE Advanced. I don’t want my parents to spend money on coaching, so Dakshana is the best opportunity for students like me. If not selected, I might join a state engineering college or take a drop and start self-preparation at home using online coaching.

Q3. What is your ambition in life?
I like physics a lot. I am interested in constructing things and also love space. So I want to pursue my career in aerospace engineering.

Q4. How would you like to contribute to the society and the world when you become a successful?
I always support women empowerment. In my perception, equality is seen everywhere, yet women still face obstacles. In Hyderabad, there is a foundation called Prajwal that saves and helps women and children from human trafficking. I want to fund and support this foundation.

Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
Being in a farmer’s family, our family has seen many hardships. There were moments where my father didn’t have money to invest. We sold our home, which is actually an emotion for us. I realized the value of money. My parents sacrificed many things for us. I feel they deserve more than thanks. I want to gift them my success.

Q6. Tell us about your interests and hobbies?
I am interested in poetry and writing. I also love painting mandalas. I like to dance and listen to music.
