Q1. Introduce your Family to us ?
My father is a carpenter and he is a very hardworking man who tries to provide the family its needs and give us a good future. My mother is a teacher in a private school. She teaches primary school children. MY sister, one year older than me, she is studying B.A(geography) in a nearby missionary college and she takes tution for small children in the locality. My brother, 8 years younger than me, he is studying in class 5 in the same school my mother teaches. Among my uncles and aunts they lived in my village and they are farmers. Only my mother took the risk to go out of her village and go in search for a new life in town.

Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
It is because I think I'm capable of achieving greatness in life by pursuing my life in the field of Engineering and in order to achieve such a life I need to get a god institution and I firmly believe Dakshana will help me get a good institution. If I have not been selected for Dakshana, I might be continuing preparing fro JEE for next year and if not then I will continue my studies in BCA courses in colleges in my state.

Q3. What is your ambition in life?
My ambition in life is to pursue my life in the field of Engineering in Computer Science, but as a teenager my aim deviates in other things as well, but I know I belong to a poor family whose hopes are on me in lifting the family's name and earn a respectful name in the society. so therefore I have fixed my mind that I will be an engineer.

Q4. How would you like to contribute to the society and the world when you become a successful?
There are so many things that I want to contribute to my society in which I'm living. I want to help children, teenagers in doing things what they like. Giving free music classes is one that I have dreamt to contribute to he society. I may raise some funds for the poor in my locality and might help them too in their lives.

Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
An incident took place in 2013 when I was in class 4 and I was sick. It was a saturday night and my father came home and brought u sweets as he usually does every saturday despite his low wage. It was around 3a.m the next day, a phone call came that the place where my father worked had been burned down by someone. No one knew who was the culprit and since my father was jobless. It was after one year that he decided that he will start his own carpentry workshop and so he did by renting a small room for his work. This has urged me to do something good like my father who never refuse to gave up.

Q6. Tell us about your interests and hobbies?
I have a good interest in music and I do want to achieve higher in the field of music. I am also interested in my father's work and I often go to work with him whenever I get the time to.
