He is currently in Aragam village,of Bandipora District of North Kashmir. Aijaz has been running this dairy farm for the past five years.
Aijaz-ul-Haq says that he started this dairy farm because he wanted to be a job provider instead of a job seeker. He bought his livestock from Gurdaspur, Punjab in 2017. He got the idea of starting a dairy farm from a friend who was a veterinary assistant surgeon. This had become a roaring success. It was earning him more than 70,000 rupees per month.
Aijaz faced many problems in the first two years of running the dairy farm. There were no private companies to lift milk from his farm. He eventually got help from the Department of Animal Husbandry and J&K Milk Producers Cooperative Limited.
