What is the measure of success? It varies from person to person. Perhaps the definition of success of an engineer will be different from the definition of a teacher. Along with this, the personal happiness that comes from a job also defines your situation. People who may be getting paid lakhs may still not be satisfied.?
At a time when a number of people are leaving villages to focus on high-paying jobs, this engineer-turned-dairy farmer’s story stands out like a beacon of hope for youngsters.
The engineer is 26-year-old Jayaguru Achar Hinder who runs a dairy farm with his parents.
Jayaguru Achar Hinder hails from Mundru village, Puttur Taluk in Dakshin Kannada district. Jayaguru Achar studied civil engineering at Vivekananda College of Engineering and Technology, worked as a civil engineer for a year with a private firm.
Quitting civil engineering and creating a business worth crores

How Jayaguru Achar Hinder earns money from dung, urine and bathing water
Jayaguru Achar Harinder sells thousands of bags of dry cow dung every month. Jayaguru Achar was inspired by watching online videos and then he purchased a machine that dries cow dung from Punjab.
Not only this, but the Achar also sold a mixture of cow dung solution, which contains dung, urine and used water that comes out of the cowshed after bathing the cows. This solution is supplied by tankers. By selling this solution Achar earns around Rs 8 to Rs 11 per litre. This solution is delivered to farmers’ fields which is very useful for plants.
Gonandajala
Gonandajala is actually a high nutrient that promotes crop growth. After the cow dies, instead of being cremated or buried, the body of the cow is left in a large tank, which contains urine, butter and other items and water. It is closed and left for 6-7 months so that the body decomposes completely and the fluid is then used as liquid fertiliser.
Other than this, Achar sells 750 liters of milk and 30-40 liters of ghee per day. According to News 18, In the future, Jayaguru Achar plans to set up a unit to manufacture dairy products. “I know it’s a twenty-four-hour job, but here I am an open boss and I find complete satisfaction in it,” Achar said.
