“My wife got to know about a dog who was bleeding after being hit by a vehicle. Without thinking twice, I left my auto stand and went to pick up the injured dog, who was given timely help and rescued,” says Baskar.
He says that this led to more calls from rescue volunteers who needed transportation for injured animals.
However, at that time, Baskar was driving a rented auto, and his owner was against him taking injured animals in the vehicle.
“I gave the auto back to him and decided to purchase my own.
Seeing an injured puppy being denied help ignited a spark in me, and I wanted to dedicate my life to helping these voiceless beings.
So, I invested Rs 40,000 from my savings and borrowed the rest to buy an auto,” says Baskar.
Inside his auto -- named ‘Help Voiceless’ -- he set up a cage for big dogs, a basket for puppies, and a carrier for cats.
He carries some kibble along with water bowls to feed the rescues.
His passenger auto now serves as an exclusive ambulance for animals. Every day, he makes at least 4-5 trips to the veterinarian with a sick or injured animal.

(1/4) To encourage farmers to stop #stubbleburning, Udhami Kisan self-help group in Khosa Pando village of #Punjab's Moga district set a unique agro-machinery bank.
(2/4) This bank provides agro-machinery -- such as Mulcher, Happy Seeder, Bailer, Zero Drill and Roto Seeder -- at a nominal rent to manage crop residues, particularly #paddy#stubble.
(3/4) The impact has been amazing. Instead of burning stubble, 90% of the village's farmers have started ploughing the paddy residue back into the soil, improving soil fertility and increasing the next yield.

"Electric vehicles are the future of global mobility. India's mobility sector accounts for 142 million tonnes of carbon emissions, of which 86% is shared by roadways. @ExicomS
Hence, decarbonising the mobility sector is of utmost importance.", says Anant Nahata, founder of Exicom Group, which recently became the largest EV charger maker completing 5,000 installations within 4 years of inception.
The chargers are installed across 200 cities in 20 states. Most installations have happened at bus depots, fleet operators, public charging stations, residential communities and households. The chargers comprise approximately 3,600 AC Chargers and 1,400 DC fast chargers.
The gift of a warm shawl, a sweater, a blanket or even just thick socks may seem small to us, but it makes a big difference to those with no other protection from the brutal cold of winter.

Besides luck, the only thing that got me here was a deep passion for technology and an open mind.
Be open, be impatient, and be hopeful. You have the chance to change everything. Realise that the progress of one generation becomes the foundational premise for the next.
And it takes a new set of people to come along and discover all the possibilities.
There are things about technology that frustrate you and make you impatient. Don't lose that impatience.
