After doing SSY workshop, I started following the principle and guideline laid down in SSY. I was also able to give up my bad habits of tabacco chewing etc.
I even did the professional insights program under SSY. There I learnt the ropes of running a business. It gave me the courage to start my own business. So I started panchgavya chikitsa Kendra, that supplies the five items of desi ( local ) cows, namely, milk, ghee, curd, go-mutra ( cow urine) and cow dung.
I also started a goshala ( cow shed) of desi cow name shri samartha Gosavrdhan. My monthly income from it is 15,000-20,000.
My goal is to extend my business further.
