I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because, From very tender age I had fixed my target i.e. to become an IITian. When I was small. I used to study in St. Joseph?s Acadamy at Dehradun with my uncle. He always used to talk about IIT as he also had given it a try but was unable to crack the exam of IIT. He always influenced me to join IIT when I grow up. My uncle could not qualify because of a few problems. Out of which main was his financial condition when he was young. He was not even able to purchase 2nd hand books. He has been the true source of inspiration for me. But whenever I thought of IIT. I also felt than finances would surely come in my way. But with ?Dakshana? I think my problem is solved as it gives free coaching for IIT. It is a golden opportunity for me. I really want to become a ?Dakshana? Scholar and hopefully attend IIT. After becoming an IITian I will also donate to Dakshana so that the way it is providing me with excellent faculty and wonderful atmosphere, it can also provide too many other students like me who are capable but are unable to cope up with the finances for IIT coaching. And that day will be real success of my life.

Thank you.
