Fulfilling Family Needs through Goat Rearing
Brothers Nanchu Ram Yadav and Hanuman Sahay Yadav live separately with their families in Jamvaramgarh, near Jaipur. Ritu's father, Hanuman Sahay, has completed 10th grade, while her mother, Sushila, has completed 8th grade. The family owns around 8-10 goats, which they graze daily. They sustain their livelihood by selling goat milk and kids. Nanchuram and his wife Geeta, who are illiterate, also own a few goats and a cow-buffalo, selling its milk. Both wives work in nearby fields. Ritu's house is made of stones, while Kareena's house is still under construction. They rely on ration cards for food, making do with temporary arrangements to fill their stomachs.
Illness of Both Brothers
Already facing economic difficulties, Ritu's father Hanuman Sahay Yadav developed a problem in one eye in 2002. Despite a laser operation, his visibility remained at only 30 percent. In 2011, he encountered an issue in his other eye, resulting in complete loss of eyesight. This prevented him from working, leaving goat rearing as his only option. Meanwhile, the other brother, Nanchu Ram Yadav, is currently undergoing radiotherapy for lung cancer.
