Manish Meena

JNV Bundi Rajasthan
I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT

Q1. Introduce your Family to us ?
My father, Prahlad Meena, is a farmer on his own land. My mother, Anita Bai, is a housewife. I have one younger sister and brother. My uncles are also farmers. All the people in my family want to educate me. No one in my family has studied after the 10th class. Most of them are uneducated.

Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
My family is financially weak and not capable of sending me out for JEE preparation in private coaching. I am thankful to Dakshana for awarding this scholarship to me. This scholarship will be very helpful for me and my family to overcome our financial condition. If I am not selected for this scholarship, then I will do farming on our land.

Q3. What is your ambition in life?
My ambition in life is to be a respectful and financially strong person who helps others and enables society to pursue higher education. I think this ambition may be fulfilled after becoming an IITian. This will make my family financially strong.

Q4. How would you like to contribute to the society and the world when you become a successful?
After becoming successful, I will promote education in society and help poor students who can't afford the fees for higher studies. I think this will help society become educated because, in this time, there is no value for an uneducated person.

Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
The incident that motivated me to become an IITian was when my family urgently needed money. My father went to borrow money from some people, but they refused to help us. He went to many people, and in the end, only one person agreed to lend the money. That incident inspired me to change our situation through education.

Q6. Tell us about your interests and hobbies?
My hobbies are reading books, newspapers, and exploring new things. I also like gardening.
