When I had just turned 16, I was sitting at home after giving my SLC exam. At that time, the Maoist rebellion began. The rebellion that started from Rolpa/Rukum had an impact in our district as well. Even if there were rumors of rebellion, he was afraid to get higher education even if he went outside the district without paying attention to it. I dreamed of getting a government job after reading articles. However, life is not as expected.

It didn't happen as I wanted. There was a wave of young people from the village joining the then Maoist party. The wave that was going on at that time did not leave me too . In the year 2053, I also got involved in the Maoist rebellion. 

Joined the Maoist party and worked for 11 years. At first, I served as a military officer and later as a health worker. I participated in the clashes at different places. During the battle of Myagdi headquarters, many were injured. I was also injured. Being a medical worker, I treated the wounded in the battle . Although I participated in the Maoist rebellion for a long time, I finally understood that the main source of income is agriculture.

When the country entered the peace process after 2063 and I returned and continued the agricultural profession embraced by my parents. I am doing goat, poultry and farming . Recently, the young generation has gone abroad. To prevent them from going abroad and return them to agricultural work, I am now engaged in chicken and goat rearing. 

lives in Kumakh Rural Municipality-6, Badachour. Now I am 48 years old . At first I was limited to farming. In the year 2077, after registering the Bohra livestock farm, I started raising chickens and goats professionally. I have raised 550 layers of chickens for egg production by making cages in my own orchard. There are more than 40 goats . Although he has been involved in politics for a long time, the main occupations that raise the standard of living in rural areas are agriculture and animal husbandry. For some time Maulaha did a little business in the market. 

Chicken and goat rearing place is 25 minutes away from the market . I am busy with chickens and goats in the mornings and evenings . In the afternoon, family, siblings and children take care. I am earning 250,000 per year by rearing chickens and selling eggs and 200,000 per year from goat rearing to 450,000 . From that, I have raised a family of 11 including myself and my brother-in-law. I have taught my son. Although I have been in politics for a long time, now I am active in agriculture. 

The money I earned from shopping in Maulahale is now invested in chicken and goat rearing . I have invested 15 to 20 lakhs to collect cage construction and other materials. This year, after the Animal Hospital and Animal Services Office gave a subsidy of 400,000, I added 400,000 to it and built a cage for goat rearing. I have prepared to raise goats . 

The current youth generation is passing plus two and going to countries including the Gulf, saying that labor is not important in the country. As the number of emigrants increases, the villages are becoming deserted. My only wish is that young people should not be forced to go abroad after falling into the middleman's trap and incur a heavy debt to their families, they should not suffer without finding work and they should be able to earn a living easily by commercializing traditional agricultural occupations at home . What should I do for that, but I am ready to help .
