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.
