In this photo taken Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012, Petla Narasimhulu holds a portrait of his 18-year-old daughter Petla Lalitha at their home in Godhumaguda village of Vikarabad district, about 70 kilometers (43 miles) from Hyderabad, India. Lalitha, pressured until she handed over her last 150 rupees ($3), meant for a school examination fee, drank pesticide while leaving a suicide note reading: &quot;Work hard and earn money. Do not take loans.&quot; A wave of suicides among the impoverished residents of India's Andhra Pradesh state was blamed on the relentless tactics of agents from microfinance companies, which give small loans intended to lift up the very poor.
