Bakhtijar

Bakhtijar is 33 years old, married, and has a child. He works in a mine. He is engaged in agriculture and has land on which he grows clover for cattle, and sells part of the clover. He keeps sheep and cows. He and his wife are engaged in farming as their additional source of income. After getting married, they built a house, but there was little money, so they are doing the repairs in parts. Having saved up money, they already started changing the windows in the house to save electricity. However, they do not have enough money to install plastic windows, so he applied for a loan. The windows will keep the heat in the house, which will significantly save on heating costs.
