Livestock Owner
Nawagarhi Village,
Munger District,
Bihar
My family was in a dilemma – I had completed college, but could not find a job
in our village. I needed to find a viable
source of income. I had our cow artificially
inseminated at ITC’s cattle development
centre. We now have 3 crossbred cows
which give us 30 litres of milk a day,
bringing us a monthly income of Rs. 7,000
and most importantly, I do not have to
leave my village and family.
