Varanasi: The inspiring journey of Vinita, a woman from Prasiddhi village in Sonbhadra district, is a shining example of how determination and support can transform lives. Once burdened by poverty, she is now a successful dairy entrepreneur with over 40 cows, thanks to the Kashi Milk Producer Company.
Her rise as a ‘Lakhpati Didi’ has become an inspiration for many ambitious women.
Coming from a joint family, Vinita’s journey from hardship to success reflects not only her perseverance but also the transformative impact of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s visionary leadership and the State Rural Livelihood Mission. Her story stands as a beacon of hope for countless rural women pursuing economic empowerment through govt-backed initiatives.
Hailing from Prasiddhi village in Tarawa Gram Panchayat, Vinita, a graduate, carried financial burden of a 14-member family. Owning 10–12 cows, she sold milk to private dairies, but her hard work yielded little in return.
“We never received fair price or timely payment,” Vinita recalled. “Despite working tirelessly, even meeting basic household needs was a struggle and educating my children felt like a distant dream.” Everything changed when she came to know about Kashi Milk Producer Company. Through the Om Mahila Sahayata Samooh, she became part of Kashi Milk and found a platform that respected her labour. With their support, she received training, resources and most importantly, a fair and consistent income. In just two years, her earnings crossed Rs 1 lakh. Today, she owns over 40 cows and manages them with the help of her family. Vinita’s transformation from a struggling dairy farmer to one of the first five ‘Lakhpati Didis’ of Kashi Milk Producer Company is nothing short of inspiring. Vinita’s success uplifted her family and inspired many in her village. With supportive policies, proper market access and robust infrastructure, she transitioned from a struggling milk seller to a confident entrepreneur. “Kashi Milk and the self-help group didn’t just give me income—they gave me a new way of seeing life,” said Vinita.
“The State Rural Livelihood Mission of the Yogi govt changed my life,” Vinita said proudly. “Kashi Milk gave me confidence through timely payments and support.” Vinita’s success is a testament to how targeted interventions, when combined with determination, can empower women and uplift entire communities.
Milky way to success and prosperity in rural Uttar Pradesh
Varanasi: Kashi Milk Producer Company has brought transformative shift in lives of rural women across Uttar Pradesh. Operating in districts like Ballia, Mirzapur, Sonbhadra, Ghazipur, Chandauli, Varanasi, and Sant Ravidas Nagar, the company has created a vast network empowering women across 700 villages. Today, 30,497 women are associated with Kashi Milk, collectively contributing to daily collection of 1.03 lakh litres milk. Remarkably, 5,209 of these women have now crossed the milestone of earning over Rs 1 lakh annually.
Statewide, under the State Rural Livelihood Mission (UPSRLM), 7.29 lakh litres of milk are being collected daily from 3,926 villages, making 28,853 women financially self-reliant. Milk producer companies like Balini, Samarthya, Gorakhnath Kripa, and Srijani have together generated a turnover of over Rs 1,250 crore, boosting rural economy significantly.
Mission director Deepa Ranjan said the initiative was not only enhancing women’s financial strength but also promoting self-employment at the grassroots. “Companies like Kashi Milk are offering right platforms and resources, enabling women to become self-reliant. Timely payments made directly into their bank accounts have helped them build financial stability and plan future,” she said.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision of empowering rural women is being realised effectively through the State Rural Livelihood Mission. The initiative has equipped women with opportunities for economic independence via self-help groups and milk producer companies. Vinita’s story is not just about personal triumph—it is a powerful example of how women can transform their lives and communities with the right support.
