I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT becacse it was my dream from childhood onwards to do something great and different. Earlier I found this work impossible. I always used to think that these all things look good in dreams only for a child belonging to middle class family. And of course I was not too good in my studies. but when my teachers motivated me, i started studing hard. After 2-3 months(in class IX), I came to know about Dakshana foundation.Then I realised that this is the best platform to fulfill my dreams. At that time , I started to collect information about Dakshana.But in the process of collecting informations , my teachers demotivated me with the words that only rank holder students who always comes under bright light can have a chance to get into Dakshana so don't dream for it. But I was not affected by these words. I continued to concentrate on Dakshana with ignoring all the things said by teachers. When i was shortlisted for appearing in GDST , that teacher again commented that you name may be printed by mistake in place of some other student. But I did't listen to him and continued with my progress. My 10th results was out and my performance was not upto the level. I got 8.9 CGPA. I thought may be the teacher was right but what happened was just opposite and I qualified GDST. All were surprised. I put an example that week students also can do a lot of things. Now when I am in Dakshana foundation, it seems to me some another word. Here all the facilities are available for all the scholars. After coming here very tough exams alsoseems to be very simple. I want to get AIR-1 for my country.
