Gujarat Women Dairy Farmers Achieve Financial Success
Many women in Gujarat, India, are making a lot of money from dairy farming.
Navalben Chaudhary earned over ₹2 crore last year, while others like Dariyanben Rajput also earned significant amounts.
They supply milk to Banas Dairy, a large cooperative.
This has led to financial independence, allowing them to build new homes and buy vehicles.
The government provides financial support, and thousands of cooperatives are led by women, boosting the economy in rural areas.
Navalben Chaudhary earned ₹2.04 crore from dairy farming in the last fiscal year.
14 women milk producers earned ₹1 crore or more supplying milk to Banas Dairy.
Banas Dairy reported an annual turnover of ₹21,295 crore in 2024-25.
