A small cowshed was made for the cattle at her Sreepur village in Boalkhali upazila of the district.
Five years down the line, that cowshed has been replaced by a bigger “Pure Dairy Farm” of 31 cows.
“Five years ago we bought the three milch cows just to meet the milk requirement of our family,” said Monwara. “Then I started selling the surplus milk to neighbours.”
