How Four Friends Built a Rs 100 Crore Turnover Business Starting With a Cow Farm

Four friends from Jharkhand chucked their corporate jobs and decided to do something different. They pooled in their savings and… bought cows!

It's a risk that paid-off and, within five years, their dairy business has milked out a turnover of over Rs 100 crore, becoming one of the most popular brands of the state.

Osam Dairy is currently present in 19 districts and works with 140 distributors and over 3,000 retailers across Jharkhand. From four, they are now 270 people-strong and their team is only getting stronger.

But not having expertise in the area still cost them dearly. "After completing the course, I went to Khanna in Punjab to purchase Holstein Friesian cows," says Abhinav.

"We bought 40 animals for Rs 35 lakh but as soon as they arrived, we got to know they were suffering from the Foot and Mouth disease. We lost 26 of them within one month. It was both a financial and emotional blow to see the animals dying."

[www.keralites.net] Scientists Warn Of A ‘Post-Antibiotic’ Apocalypse That Could Signal End Of Modern Medicine By 2050

 

Scientists Warn Of A 'Post-Antibiotic' Apocalypse That Could Signal The End Of Modern Medicine By 2050!

Antibiotic resistance is on a rampant rise during the last few years. Around 2 million people in the U.S are infected by bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics; leading to $20 billion dollars in healthcare costs and $35 billion dollars a year loss in productivity

We're already losing 70,0000 people every year due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which could spell a sizeable incremental disaster in the coming 30 years!

 

Now, England's chief medical officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, claims that we might lose up to 10 million lives a year by 2050 due to antibiotic resistance if we don't act now!

She suggests that the world is in danger of suffering from a 'post-antibiotic apocalypse', which could potentially signal the end of 'modern medicine' if we don't tackle the problem of drug-resistant strains of bacteria.

Drugs are often given to patients with colds and viruses, even though antibiotics do not help cure viruses. 

"It does not really have a 'face' because most people who die of drug-resistant infections, their families just think they died of an uncontrolled infection. It will only get worse unless we take strong action everywhere across the globe. We need some real work on the ground to make a difference or we risk the end of modern medicine."
