This Bengaluru-based startup can scan every single plant on a farm. And decide whether to spray it with pesticide or not. All in a fraction of a second - cutting down your pesticide usage by up to 60%. And behind this innovation is this tiny camera called Niqo Sense which can scan farms 30 times every second and has the capability to decide exactly what to do with the plant down to the millimeter level accuracy. And now they are exporting their products to the US.

वाह, कलेक्टर साहब इसे कहते है उच्च पद की गरिमा 80 साल की बूढ़ी माता। घर में बिल्कुल अकेली। कई दिनों से भूखी। बीमार अवस्था में पड़ी हुई। खाना-पीना और ठीक से उठना-बैठना भी दूभर। हर पल भगवान से उठा लेने की फरियाद करती हुई। खबर तमिलनाडु के करूर जिले के कलेक्टर टी अंबाजगेन के कानों में पहुंचती है। दरियादिल यह आइएएस अफसर पत्नी से खाना बनवाता है। फिर टिफिन में लेकर निकल पड़ता है वृद्धा के चिन्नमालनिकिकेन पट्टी स्थित झोपड़ी में। जिस बूढ़ी माता से पास- पड़ोस के लोग आंखें फेरे हुए थे, कुछ ही पल में उनकी झोपड़ी के सामने जिले का सबसे रसूखदार अफसर मेहमान के तौर पर खड़ा नजर आता है। वृद्धा समझ नहीं पातीं क्या माजरा है। डीएम कहते हैं-माता जी आपके लिए घर से खाना लाया हूं, चलिए खाते हैं। वृद्धा के घर ठीक से बर्तन भी नहीं होते तो वह कहतीं हैं साहब हम तो केले के पत्ते पर ही खाते हैं। डीएम कहते हैं-अति उत्तम। आज मैं भी केले के पत्ते पर खाऊंगा। किस्सा यही खत्म नहीं होता। चलते-चलते डीएम वृद्धावस्था की पेंशन के कागजात सौंपते हैं। कहते हैं कि आपको बैंक तक आने की जरूरत नहीं होगी, घर पर ही पेंशन मिलेगी। डीएम गाड़ी में बैठकर चले जाते हैं, आंखों में आंसू लिए वृद्धा अवाक रहकर देखती रह जाती है।

Next in who after the Ramanujan series? A mathematician whose work is so deep that it borders on the spiritual, yet who remains a total mystery to the public, we must look at Professor Mahan Mj (also known as Mahan Maharaj/Swami Vidyanathananda). In the world of logic, he is a ghost; in the world of geometry, he is a king. Mahan Mj is arguably the only person on Earth who is a Saffron-clad Monk of the Ramakrishna Order & a top-tier global mathematician simultaneously. He is a Prof of Mathematics at TIFR, Mumbai. He lives in a simple monk's cell, owns almost nothing, & wears only his saffron robes, yet he solves problems that baffle the minds at Harvard & Oxford. Most people think science & religion are at war. Mahan Mj proves they are 2 sides of the same coin. He treats a complex geometric proof as a form of meditation. When he won the Infosys Prize (₹65 Lakhs), he donated the entire amount to a trust for the education of underprivileged children. His landmark work resolved key aspects of the long-standing Cannon–Thurston Maps conjecture in hyperbolic geometry & geometric group theory, a problem connected to Bill Thurston’s program that had remained open for decades. This work was so significant that he was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in 2018, the absolute Olympics of math. Like many geniuses, his path was not linear. He ranked AIR 67 in IIT-JEE & joined the EE program at IIT Kanpur. Halfway through, he realized that circuits were too noisy for his quiet mind. He fought the system to switch to Mathematics. He completed his PhD at UC Berkeley under Andrew Casson. He could have stayed in the US & lived a life of luxury as a superstar professor. Instead, he returned to India, joined a monastery, & continued his research from a room with a bed & a bookshelf.

At 55°C, when life in Rajasthan’s desert was fading, the Indian Army with help from the Bishnoi community, stepped in—not with weapons, but with hope. By reviving age-old ponds buried under sand, they brought water, wildlife, and livelihoods back. From villagers to the endangered Great Indian Bustard, life found a way again. In the harshest conditions, the Indian Army didn’t just defend borders—they restored life.🙏

Here's your annual reminder to not convince people who say Hapus is a bad/mediocre variety that they haven't eaten the real deal. Gatekeep the real deal. Let them settle for whatever they find the bestest. It means more Hapus for us 🤷🏻‍♀️

Three back-to-back very important events for India: 1) Indigenous 500 MWe PFBR attains first criticality entering the second stage of the three-stage program 2) 1000 Km quantum communication network successfully demonstrated 3) Second IADT-02 successful test for Gaganyaan
