Priyanka Chettri
A member of Sikkim Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union from Kamarey village, Sikkim, she founded a dairy cooperative, embraced organic farming, biogas and bee farming. She is an inspiration to all.

Smt Bebi Devi
(Wife of Shri Dhirendra Ray) is one of the milk pourers of Uparbandhi MPP (Deoghar). Earlier she used to rear only non-descript cattle. She started with pouring 500 ml of milk daily. After realising that dairying is a remunerative business, she purchased a buffalo and also received 2 milch animals under the cattle induction scheme of the Government of Jharkhand.
Her herd is currently producing 20 litres of milk daily, through which she is earning around ₹15,000 per month. Out of this earning, she is managing the feed for her cattle as well as helping her family in meeting household expenditure. She takes pride in being self-dependent, a helping hand for her family, and in educating her children.

Smt Bhumika Umesh Hiwase
From Dighargavhan, Amravati, was a newlywed when she wanted to start a dairy business but faced resistance from her in-laws. However, she convinced her family members to purchase cattle and pour milk at Mother Dairy’s MPP.
She says, “I get the payment in my bank account every 10 days which helps take care of household expenditures.” By selling milk, she is now earning around ₹30,000 per month — 10 times the income she earlier had.

Smt. Sumitra Bhaurao Jadhav
From Bodona village in Chandur Railway Taluka, Amravati district, she came from a poor, landless family. She owned three cows and two buffaloes, converting their milk into curd, which her husband sold in Amravati. Due to delayed payments and poor earnings, he became a chronic alcoholic, worsening their financial and personal struggles.
One day, Sumitra learned about a Milk Pooling Point (MPP) by Mother Dairy in nearby Pohara village. Attracted by its transparent procurement, timely payments, and fair pricing, she visited the MPP and began supplying 10 litres of milk daily. Payments were credited directly to her account every 10 days, bringing financial stability and hope to her family.

Shri Rituraj Surjuse
An engineer from Bodnera village in Taluka, Amravati district, he struggled to find a job after completing his degree. Though initially hesitant about dairy farming due to market uncertainties, he discovered a Mother Dairy Milk Pooling Point (MPP) in nearby Dabha village. Impressed by its transparency and fair pricing, he decided to start a dairy farm, purchasing 16 cows and supplying 80 litres of milk daily.
Now financially stable and confident, he encourages other graduates to consider dairy farming over low-paying jobs, crediting his success to Mother Dairy.
