Two Sisters Build Thriving Dairy Business Through Hard Work
Jashanpreet and Supandeep are two sisters who help run their family’s dairy farm.
They wake up at 4:30 in the morning to feed and milk the animals.
They also clean the shed, do housework, study, and help deliver milk.
Their family once had only one buffalo and faced financial difficulties.
With the sisters’ hard work and encouragement, the herd grew to 22 animals.
The family now sells about 100 kilograms of milk each day.
The dairy business helped them repay a loan and improve their home and farm.
Jashanpreet wants to open a boutique, while Supandeep hopes to join the police.
Their family is also considering adding goats and horses to the business.
Jashanpreet Kaur, 19, and Supandeep Kaur, 17, begin dairy work at 4:30 a.m. before studying and handling household duties.
The sisters helped their financially constrained family expand from one buffalo to 22 cows and buffaloes.
The family sells nearly 100 kilograms of milk daily and earns about ₹5,000 from milk sales.
Dairy profits helped the family repay a loan, buy a tractor and car, and lease additional agricultural land.
The sisters continue their education while pursuing separate ambitions in fashion design and policing.
