THE BUFFALO PROJECT

The Society Started Buffalo Project by providing a buffalo each to thirty families with the project vision.

• They are a good investment. Suppose a new farmer starts with Buffalo, he or she gets an average of 9 litters milk one day and can get INR 35 per litter. This way on an average, the family can earn INR 9450/-monthly. Eventually, with a sale price of Buffalo-which is typical in North India-he/she can earn more than INR 28000 each.

• They help keep children healthy. Malnutrition kills many children in rural areas of Rajasthan and Punjab. Although drinking Milk-which is rich in protein and other nutrients-can help fight malnutrition, many farmers with small flocks find that it's more economical to sell the milk, and use the money to buy nutritious food.

• They empower women. Because in Punjab and Rajasthan Buffalos typically stay close to home, Women who sell milk are likely to reinvest the profits in their families.
