Talk With Class of 2019 Dakshana Scholars – Dec. 24, 2017

4/30/2018

I very much enjoyed my Q&A session with the class of 2019 Dakshana scholars at JNV Kottayam, Kerala, India on Dec. 24, 2017. These scholars will take the IIT entrance exams in 2019. The majority are likely to be accepted by the IITs. Their questions covered a broad range of topics related to compounding, as well as the reasons behind our establishing the Dakshana Foundation.

Enjoy!

Mohnish,

I have watched every video and lecture of yours that I can find, and have read your book. I've always enjoyed seeing you interact with the Dakshana scholars, but this lecture takes the cake. Your passion for these kids and their future was SO palpable, I was moved to tears. I look forward to making donations to Dakshana in the years to come. Bravo for your great work sir!

A fan,

Matt

The teacher provides the very important tips in every class and then also doing the lot of effort to complete the assignment. The different assignment topic is so difficult, but the teacher is giving the ideas and also done the assignment.
