Dama teaching his grandson after selling rice

Even now, most of the elderly are dependent on their husbands and wives and daughters-in-law. She said, 'As long as my health allows me, I have thought of earning by myself and paying for the expenses of my sons and daughters and grandsons.' She says that if she depends only on her son and daughter-in-law, there will be problems, so she is running her own venture and running the expenses. Her 58-year-old husband, Megh Bahadur, has reared 60 sheep and goats in the village.

Dama said, 'I am teaching my grandchildren by renting a room in Sadarmukam Khalanga. The amount earned by selling Radipakhi is used for grandchildren's kapi, kamal, From school uniforms, I have been making dal, rice, salt and oil.' Even the neighbors are surprised to see his hard work.

Radipakhi is sold at the price of 8 to 10 thousand and liu is sold at 4 to 7 thousand, she said. His salary is about 40,000 per month. Sheep and goats were already being reared in his house. As a result, she was able to weave radipakhi from an early age. He has the experience of watching his father, uncle and brothers weave Radi.

Dama's old-age energy is encouraging other women to enter the enterprise. 'I will continue to work alone. I am supporting the household expenses by embracing it as a business,' she said, 'till now I have not had to carry the burden of debt. Skills have taught me to be independent. I am happy with this.'
