- Dairy business has become a strong source of income.
- “By taking advantage of the State Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme, a farmer from Mangapetha has set an example of self-reliance.”
In rural Chhattisgarh, animal husbandry and dairy farming are becoming an excellent source of additional and secure income for villagers. By taking advantage of the government’s public welfare schemes, Mr. Pyarelal Yadav, a resident of Mangapetha village, has set a new example of economic self-reliance through his hard work and dedication.
- ‘Journey from Limited Farm Income to Dairy Entrepreneurship’
Mr. Pyarelal Yadav previously supported his family solely through traditional farming. Due to limited income from agriculture, he often faced financial hardship and difficulties. Meanwhile, he learned about the “State Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme” of the Animal Husbandry Department. Impressed by the scheme’s provisions, he decided to enter the dairy business.
- “Hard work paid off, the family grew from two cows to eight animals.”
Pyarelal started his business with just two cows. With proper care, milk production gradually increased, and his income steadily grew. Utilizing his savings, he purchased two more cows. Today, he owns a total of eight cattle. This business now generates a net income of approximately ₹150,000 per year.
- ‘Artificial insemination technology will pave the way for the future’
With the support of the Livestock Development Department and artificial insemination techniques, his cows have given birth to three high-breed calves. This will automatically increase his dairy herd, strengthening the prospects for further expansion of his dairy business in the future. Progressive livestock farmer Mr. Pyarelal Yadav stated that animal husbandry has provided him and his family with a solid source of regular income. Now, I am preparing to expand this business to a larger scale. This government scheme is extremely beneficial for small farmers like us. Pyarelal Yadav’s remarkable success proves that if government welfare schemes are combined with proper guidance and hard work, rural families can become self-reliant and strengthen their economic position.
