Financially, they are comfortably placed.
The head of the family is Ram Naresh, 98, and he proudly says that there is just one kitchen for the whole family. The family cooks 20 kg of vegetables, 15 kg of rice and 10 kg of wheat every day and the cooking is taken care of by the women in the family. “I am happy that not even a single member of the family has ever said that they want to live separately. I want people to take us as an example and keep the nation together too,” he said.
