It was then that she took her first loan of INR 20,000 from Arohan and invested the amount in buying more cows to increase the produce and her income. Today, she has six cows in her dairy farm and her business is doing good enough for her to even engage her husband into the daily activities of the same. She sells the milk produce through OMFED (The Orissa State Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation Limited) centers in nearby villages and earns more than INR 1200 per day.
