When asked, why she decided to share this treasure with The Foundation, Usha says, "It's a very small contribution in comparison to what Rahul Bose and his team are doing under his foundation to bring about a change to the community. When Rahul approached Dad a couple of years ago and spoke to him about The Foundation and the kind of innovative fundraising that he does, halfway through the presentation Dad said - Go ahead, take it, it’s all yours. I’m honored to do this on behalf of Dad. "
