Goat Rearing Supports the Family

Krishnavati, a mother of eight, faced immense challenges in providing for her family with an irregular income of ₹3,500–4,000 per month. Struggling to make ends meet, she shared her aspiration for goat rearing with Arthik Anusandhan Kendra, which recognized her determination and provided her with three goat kids. This small but crucial support marked the beginning of her journey toward financial stability. With unwavering dedication and hard work, she grew her herd to 16 goats in just two years.

Her efforts transformed her livelihood, increasing the family’s monthly income to approximately ₹6,000. Beyond financial gains, the goats became a vital resource for nutrition and security. During a family emergency, she no longer had to rely on loans—instead, she sold four goats for ₹16,000, covering her essential expenses with dignity.

Krishnavati’s success story highlights the power of self-sufficiency and how grassroots support can create lasting change. Her resilience and vision turned a simple opportunity into a sustainable means of livelihood, setting an inspiring example for many others in her community.
