I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I am from a poor family who without your Institution would have never dreamt of receiving coaching for IIT to pass the entrance examination of IIT.

My father is a farmer whose annual income is hardly Rs. 24,000. So, he faced many hardships in order to feed us and would have never been able to give IIT coaching to me in a coaching institution.

Though I am from a poor family, my aim was to become an IITian in future. It is often said ?Where there is a will there is a way?. And for the success of my will God send your kind Foundation as a way in order to reach my aim.

If I ever become a successful IITian I would contribute 10% of my salary that I get to Dakshana Joyfully, so that it can help more poor family who have intelligent sons/daughters but cannot afford to give IIT coaching to them.

In this way I would be able to give my Guru Dakshana to the foundation for the teaching and the guide you will give as a Dakshana Scholar to me.

If I become a good professional man with earnings more than I need I would like to become a member of Dakshana Foundation to fund money for the upliftment of the gifted and impoverished students of India to uplift them and make the society of India a peace one which no poverty and no kind of other problems like scarcity, drought etc. And with the development of society the economy of India would rise and there will be no need of the Indian Doctors and Engineers to go to other country for job and earn more money.

I would like to thank the Dakshana people once more for the kind help given by them to me and other gifted but impoverished student and solving the problems of their parents.
