Reshma has been given a good diet on a regular basis, and she has already started delivering so much milk that she has set a new record for the most milk given in the country. 

Reshma achieved a national record by delivering the maximum amount of milk, 33 kilograms 800 grams. According to sources, while Reshma was pregnant, the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) undertook  milking for a week. Naresh received the certificate of Reshma, the country's greatest milk producing buffalo, a few days ago.
