I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I belong to a poor family, my father saw big dreams for my future. I want to fulfill his dreams. My dream would have remained a dream if dint get to know of the Dakshana Scholarship. Dakshana Scholarship is like a ladder, by which we can change our dreams into reality. We all of them dream is qualifying IIT. Through IIT education we want to serve our Motherland.

If somebody asks me why you want to join IIT? My simple answer that my parents happiness is in the fact, that I do something good for my country. My parents always say:

Heal the past
Live in present
And dream of future

These words I will keep in mind and try to fulfill my parents dream. True citizens are not only those who battle on the border and become martyrs, but also those who are live and serve in country. I want to become a true citizen of my country. I want to go IIT so I can serve my country better.
