Baba Gorakhnath MPO Crosses ₹400 Cr Turnover, 6,800 Women Lakhpati Didis
A quiet yet transformative economic revolution is reshaping rural households across eastern Uttar Pradesh, driven entirely by women dairy farmers. Within just three years of its inception, the Shri Baba Gorakhnath Kripa Milk Producer Organisation (MPO)—established under the Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihoods Mission (UPSRLM) with technical support from the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB)—has crossed a landmark cumulative turnover of ₹400 crore. Realizing Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision of grassroots women-led entrepreneurship in Purvanchal, the organization has empowered 79,000 rural women members across seven districts, turning 6,800 women into self-reliant ‘Lakhpati Didis’ while collecting more than 1.60 lakh (160,000) liters of milk every single day.
Spanning Gorakhpur, Maharajganj, Deoria, Kushinagar, Azamgarh, Mau, and Sant Kabir Nagar, the producer-owned enterprise has demonstrated how structured cooperative dairy value chains can eliminate middlemen, guarantee transparent digital payments, and unlock sustainable household prosperity across eastern Uttar Pradesh.
₹1.04 Crore Diwali Profit Disbursed Directly to Women Shareholders’ Bank Accounts
Marking the second consecutive year of profit-sharing on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, Shri Baba Gorakhnath Kripa MPO distributed ₹1,04,33,722 (over ₹1.04 crore) from its net surplus for the 2025–26 financial year directly into the bank accounts of eligible women shareholders. Importantly, this bonus payout comes entirely over and above the regular fortnightly milk procurement payments earned by members throughout the year.
According to Dhanraj Sahni, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Shri Baba Gorakhnath Kripa MPO, the ₹1.04-crore Diwali disbursement was structured under two transparent financial components:
Loyalty Incentive (₹72,01,786): Rewarded directly in proportion to the volume and consistency of milk supplied by women members to the organization during the fiscal year.
Share Capital Dividend (₹32,31,936): Paid out at an impressive rate of ₹8 per equity share (against a face value of ₹100 per share) across 4,03,992 equity shares held by rural women members.
Every rupee was credited seamlessly via direct online bank transfers, reinforcing financial inclusion and trust among village-level dairy producers.
From ₹7,500 Monthly Earnings to 282 Women Earning Over ₹10 Lakh for Three Straight Years
Beyond institutional turnover figures, the real measure of Shri Baba Gorakhnath Kripa MPO’s impact lies in the transformation of individual family incomes across Purvanchal’s villages. Out of the 79,000 women associated with the organization across the seven districts, nearly 6,800 members have achieved ‘Lakhpati Didi’ status, generating annual net incomes exceeding ₹1 lakh through scientific cattle rearing and regular milk supply.
Even more remarkably, 282 women members have sustained annual earnings above ₹10 lakh for three consecutive years, emerging as role models of rural entrepreneurship in their blocks. Meanwhile, thousands of other homemaker-members associated with the MPO are consistently earning an average of ₹7,000 to ₹8,000 per month right from their doorsteps without migrating away from their families.

Strengthening Purvanchal’s Rural Economy Under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s Guidance
Crediting the organization’s rapid ascent to the continuous guidance and policy backing of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, CEO Dhanraj Sahni noted that integrating UPSRLM self-help groups with NDDB’s professional dairy management has transformed animal husbandry from a subsistence activity into a thriving, bankable enterprise.
