He has also bought his own vehicle to sell vegetables. In the past, he used to walk around looking for work, but now he is able to employ 15 people annually at home.

With the money he earned from vegetable farming, he has added 20 acres of land and has been able to educate his three brothers and sisters and provide them with government jobs. In the name of not getting employment in the country nowadays, hundreds of young women are migrating abroad every day If they have the will, they can work at home in the village.

His family has been looking after the cultivation of both places. He said that seven members of the family got employment at home from vegetable farming. 'Everyone in the house does this. I have given regular employment to 10 people outside,' he said.

He said that after the technical and financial support of the Agricultural Development Office, as well as the construction of irrigation canals, it has become very easy to cultivate vegetables.

He said that the vegetables produced are being sold in some local markets and most of them are selling them in their own vehicles from Dang, Nepalgunj, Butwal, Bhalubang. He expressed his sorrow.

He said, 'When the cauliflower produced in November did not get a price, we had to take it to Butwal and sell it at 5 rupees per kilo, causing a loss of around 3 lakhs. He says that it will be easy to sell the produced vegetables if the relevant agencies arrange the market properly.
