Today, in our country with increasing population, there is increase in
unemployment too, which is turning into a serious problem. Most of the Youth
are unemployed and therefore it is the time for them to be self-employed.
Mr. Shrihari Goud was also one among those unemployed, but he turned
himself into a successful entrepreneur by adopting dairy farming; setting an
example and inspiring others to become self-employed.
Thukkuguda village in Rangareddy District of Telangana
is located nearer to the Shamashabad, R.G. International
Airport, the area where most of the Multinational Companies
are running with thousands of employees. Hence, there is
a lot of demand for the daily needs especially milk and
milk –products.
“Without having own fodder production
resources, without having knowledge of basic
managemental practices, without having proper
market, and finally without involvement of owner
himself as a worker, the dairy farming is totally
UTTER FLOP”
