They established an automatic milk processing plant, investing nearly ₹1 crore, and have seen their monthly sales skyrocket from ₹4 lakh to over ₹27 lakh. Their venture, branded 'Milko Fort,' began with a small dairy operation that grew from four to around 30 buffaloes. The turning point came after attending dairy seminars, which inspired them to focus on value-added products. Their plant, equipped with modern facilities, processes around 1,500 liters of milk daily, with an installed capacity of 8,000 liters. The family emphasizes quality, ensuring that all milk is tested for adulteration. Currently, they produce various products, including paneer, curd, and desi ghee, with daily sales ranging from ₹90,000 to ₹1 lakh.
