Mysore ,  Karnataka | Milk business

Alumelamma Malaiah lives in a village located in Mysore district, Karnataka with her husband and only son. Her husband Malaiah and son Umesh are coolies. Aware of their pressing financial condition, Alumelamma started a small-scale, home-based dairy farm. This was 12 years ago. What started as a single-cattle farm, now promises growth. Today she is seeking financial support worth Rs. 10,000. The amount will be utilized to increase the cattle strength. She presently owns one cow at home but would like to buy another cow to improve her business. Hence, she requires the loan amount.
