The nature of Bengal and its appearance changes with the change of seasons. But is it change people’s lives? To see it, we went from Dhaka to Mantala village of Khidirpur union, Manohardi upazila, Narsingdi district in one morning of Hemanta. We went to Kohinoor Akhtar’s (42) house to see the radical change in her life, which, like Hemanta’s, has turned her life’s misery into success. Narsingdi district is surrounded by amazing beauty. When we arrived at Kohinoor Akhtar’s house, enthralled by the beauty of the golden rice paddies along the way with the banana and lemon gardens and the greenery on both sides of the road, Kohinoor Akhtar invited us with great joy. She began to show her life-changing project with great fanfare. It is like a changed form of Hemanta, which has been captured in the life of Kohinoor Akhtar.
Kohinoor Akhter said, I first taught as a head teacher of a local private school during its establishment. While engaged in this profession, I started thinking about alternative income in the hope of more financial success for the family. I started a cow farming project to achieve economic change through cow rearing by talking through various means, but I stumbled on the opposite side while trying to change my fortune. There is a lot of loss in the cattle business. I couldn’t figure out how to compensate for the loss! One day I came to know through YouTube that many people have turned their fortunes through commercial Quail farming, become self-reliant, and even become entrepreneurs. In the battle to turn around, I decided to keep Quail Farming. Kohinoor Akter Has Achieved Success in Quail Breeding First, I started my journey with 1200 Quail birds. In the beginning, there was a lot of hesitation about the success, but after 40–45 days, my hesitation disappeared. Out of 1200 Quails, about 1000 Quails started laying eggs. Kohinoor Akhtar got emboldened by the overwhelming response and thought about how to start on a bigger scale.
Cash was needed to expand the business. But how to provide it? While thinking about it, she got to know the Ambala Foundation. In 2022, she increased the scope of the business by taking a loan of 3,00,000 (3 lakh taka) from Ramun Mahila Samitee under Chalakchar branch of Ambala Foundation. She started rearing 2000 Quails again. When she was on her way to success with a total of 3200 Quail birds, she set her sights higher. On 2024, she took a loan of 5,00,000 (5 lakh taka) from Ambala Foundation. Bought another 5,000 Quails. Now there are a total of 8,000 Quail birds on her farm. From there, she collects 7000 to 7500 eggs every day. Wholesalers buy eggs at the price of Tk 3 per piece and taken from the farm. Kohinoor Akter’s day changes. Now she sells Quail eggs for Tk 21,000 (twenty-one thousand taka) per day. Kohinoor Akter has a profit of 9000 taka (nine thousand taka) excluding all daily expenses, which stands at 240,000 (two lahks forty thousand taka) at the end of the month. Is the day changed only by Kohinoor Akhter Akar by raising Quail birds? No, she has employed 3 women on his farm. Those working on Kohinoor Akter’s farm are also earning 500 taka per day. As a result, economic changes have come into their lives as well. Kohinoor Akter has brought revolutionary economic progress to a family of 5, including husband and wife, mother-in-law, and a daughter studying honors, creating a huge workforce. But she did not stop there. Her dream is bigger; this time he ordered more 5,000 Quail birds. Where the scope of work will increase, there will be more employment arrangements. Also, the economy of her family will be stronger.
Instead of saving some money every month. He hopes to take his business on a bigger scale in the future and fulfill his dream by getting more loans from the Ambala International Kasua branch. Also, she is thinking of buying her own private car for her husband. Today Vaida Mills is an exemplary female name. His bold venture has made his family a prosperous and self-sufficient family today. Her extraordinary perseverance and bravery have made her family an exemplary family today.
