Interview a Milk Man (School project)

School project for Class V students where students had to interview a local entrepreneur. This child interviewed a local milk man.

Abdul Bhai is the milk man who delivers milk in our building. He has been selling milk for several years, even though he has started supplying milk in our building since the last 1 year.

Abdul’s day starts quite early, around 5am in the morning. He collects milk from the wholesaler, whose milk van comes to his area every day. He then sells the milk to people in his area, including our building, for a small profit. By 7.30-8am he finishes of supplying milk to all his clients, and then proceeds to work for a security agency.

Abdul sells cow as well as buffalo milk, but says there’s more demand for cow’s milk. However, he’ says buffalo milk is more expensive as it has more calcium in it, but not everybody likes it taste and it’s not easily digestible as well.

I often hear my mom discussing with other moms about the prices of milk and how an increase in price affects their monthly budget.

I love drinking milk with Complan, and my parents have several cups of teas and coffee throughout the day. And it seems, that’s true for most families.
