She started the adoption process, yet the judge hesitated to grant her permission on the grounds of #marriage.⁠ Sushmita fostered her elder daughter Renee for 6 months before the final adoption hearing.
Upon being asked by the judge, if he worried about Sushmita’s marriage after adopting a child, her father replied. ⁠
⁠
"While no father would be okay with that, he was sure he never raised her to only be some worried.
She has chosen this motherhood, and one thing I know my daughter to do is to follow through. I am pretty confident about her choice," recalled Sushmita in an interview.⁠

(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. Image
(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.

"My father spent the equivalent of a year's salary on my plane ticket to the US, so I could attend Stanford. It was my first time ever on a plane.

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.
