Lakshmi Adi of Jumla Patarasi-1 Syalagadhigaon has been coming to the headquarters Khalanga to sell sheep on Dasain for eight years. She returns from selling a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 20 sheep each time.
She starts bringing sheep from Patan a week before Dasain . The sheep brought by him are sold at a minimum of 15,000 to 25,000 rupees in the market of the headquarters, Khalanga. "We celebrate Dasain every year with the money earned by selling sheep," Lakshmi added, "It was a habit to transport sheep to the market now. They used to worry about where to keep the sheep at night, how to sell it, who will buy it, but now the old customers already know it . It has also become very easy to sell sheep.'
Lakshmi has been rearing 60 to 70 sheep every year. Her husband Jai Bahadur has supported her. There is also a discussion in the family about how many sheep to sell, how many sheep to raise and how much to spend the money earned from selling sheep and how much to save in the bank.
They have the experience of selling sheep worth more than three lakh rupees only during Dasain. Lakshmi's husband Jai Bahadur said, 'We don't celebrate Dasain only with the money we sell sheep.'
It is Lakshmi who is responsible for feeding the sheep and checking their health. It takes about five hours to reach Khalanga from his village. There is no good way to transport sheep from the village . There is an obligation to carry the sheep to the market on foot.
In the morning, a cold sore bothers . Constant walking causes pain in the limbs. But when the merchants who buy sheep enter the flock and start sorting, Lakshmi's fatigue disappears . Every year his customers keep repeating . Customers are also attracted by his humble speech.
Hundreds of sheep breeders are bringing sheep to sell in the capital Khalanga. She said that some people were shocked to see a single woman selling sheep among hundreds. Lakshmi Khalanga is not just a trader who sells sheep in the market. A good sheep is a shepherd. More than that, they are a source of inspiration in remote areas.
Now the women of the village are looking for a means of self-reliance after learning from Lakshmi. "Earlier, I was afraid, I thought that being a girl, I could not do much work," she said. He says that if the government looks at commercial farmers and supports them like training, grants, loan concessions, sheep farming can be made a model.
