JNV Kathua Jammu and Kashmir
I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend Medical College

Q1. Introduce your Family to us ?
My father's name is Parshotam Dass. He works as an LIC agent. My mother's name is Reeta Devi; she used to work as an ASHA worker but due to health issues, she is now a homemaker.

Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
I do not belong to an economically good family that can afford coaching fees. If I get this opportunity, it will be excellent for my family’s condition and help uplift us. If I am not selected for the Dakshana Scholarship, then I will take online coaching and continue working toward my dream.

Q3. What is your ambition in life?
My ambition in life is to become a mature and happy doctor and uplift my family’s condition.

Q4. How would you like to contribute to the society and the world when you become a successful?
When I become successful, I will contribute to society by opening a school that is free for children from economically weaker families. They do not have exposure or opportunities, and education will help them uplift themselves.

Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
On the 20th of December in 2022, we (50 students) were heading toward Kolkata through train for National Youth Parliament. In a train, a sweeper was collecting dust and trash. In a trash, he found a pen and gave me and said that most educated people don't know the value of pen and education, and people like us who want to write are not able to do it. This incident has inspired me most.

Q6. Tell us about your interests and hobbies?
My hobbies are reading books and listening to music.
