Q1. Introduce your Family to us ?
My father runs a small bamboo shop in the market of our city. He is 12th pass. He has not done anything other than what is good for society. His values guide me at every step of life.

My younger sister has just completed 12th class and aspires to be a doctor.

Q2. Why should you be awarded the Dakshana Scholarship?
I aspire to be an IITian not just for my own sake but for the well-being of society. There are many other coaching centers that can help fulfill my dream, but I don't have money to live in those big cities, spending lakhs on coaching, hostels, and mess. Dakshana will help me achieve my dream.
