following huge demand for the milk and milk based items in the towns. People
want to buy milk directly from dairy forms instead of packaged milk following
the reports that it is not safe.

and going into dairying for it is now profit marking business, with there being
good demand for milk and milk products, like curd, pannier despite the presence
of many milk companies in the business of supplying packaged milk.
The dairy farm owners purchasing ‘Kalli pindi’ at Rs
2,100 per quintal in the local market to feed the animals daily in addition to
the green grass and maize and jowar being raised in their agriculture field or purchased
