In 1974, Ravin Kumar Tharu from Bansgadhi Municipality-3 Mahadeva, who was employed in Malaysia, reached Kathmandu. After completing all the procedures, it took time for the visa to arrive. It will cost a lot to come home and go again.

That's why he thought of doing some work in Kathmandu until the visa comes. On the advice of a friend from the village, he went to work in a mushroom farm in Kathmandu. The visa also came within three months of starting work. But he didn't want to go abroad .   The reason for the

was income. In Malaysia, he barely earned 35,000 Nepalese rupees a month. Even if the expenses were deducted and sent home, it would have been less. He had worked in Malaysia from 2070 to 2073. This time he was going for the second time.  But the income he saw while working in the mushroom farm brought him back to the village. 

After understanding everything about how to produce, what is the market situation, he gave up his visa to Malaysia and returned to his village with 110 poka mushroom seeds . For the first time started mushroom cultivation from Char Kattha . In the first year, the income was more than expected. He had worked in Malaysia from 2070 to 2073. He barely earned 35 thousand Nepali rupees a month. "After seeing good income, I left the visa and returned to the village," he says. Now Tharu has 10 Katta of land . During seven years, he also built a house in Baijnath in Banke with the income from mushrooms. 

He sends mushrooms to Surkhet, Bardia and Nepalgunj. Mahadeva village, which does not have good access to transport, does not use large vehicles yet. But since the highway is near, he carries the mushrooms on his motorcycle and delivers them to the road. Businessmen buy mushrooms from there and take them. 

In the beginning, he used to sell mushrooms by carrying them on a bicycle. Now there is a motorcycle . Now he plans to buy a four-wheeler to reach the village. His wife and three brothers also helped him. All family members are involved in mushroom cultivation. 

Tharu, who has earned a good income in a short time, has also employed two others . They are paid 15,000 rupees per month. In addition, 8 women come daily to pick mushrooms. His farm now produces Dudhe, Kanye and Gobre mushrooms . He sells it at 200 rupees per kg at the wholesale price.

There has been no problem in educating the children and taking care of household expenses since growing mushrooms for Tharu, who had to wash his clothes at that time, even in the morning and in the evening.

He says, "If I had gone abroad, my income would have been only that salary". Now I have earned as expected . Brothers also do not have to wander for work . I am satisfied with this income from the suffering of staying with my family. 

In fiscal year 075/076, Integrated Agriculture and Livestock Development Office built a three-storied paved terrace with AC connection for his mushroom farm.
