Abstract
The present story depicts the success of Smt. Sumi Hansda, resident of Piprasol village (Bihar), by adopting scientific livestock practices. At the initial stage, she adopted improved health practices, in which she provided regular deworming and vaccination to the animal. By adopting improved health practices, the mortality rate has been reduced significantly and results in increased herd size. Regular feeding and watering pattern has also improved the animal health. Thus, she raised her income significantly by selling goat and poultry. During the recent year, she started growing azolla and gliricidia in order to provide feed to the goat. Further she has radiated the positivity to the locality nearby and now many women are drawing motivation from her work.
