Tara Prasad Pathak has become the winner of the milking competition reality show 'Dudh', organized for the first time in Nepal among livestock farmers.
The program was broadcast every Tuesday evening on AP One Television, 'Mero Serofero' YouTube channel and Synergy FM Chitwan. In the program, 20 farmers who sell milk through a cooperative that diversifyes milk were selected from among the commercial livestock farmers of Bharatpur Metropolitan City and competed.
Vasudev Poudel came second, Mathura Mahato came third and Dhanmaya Bhandari came third in the competition. It is reported that Pathak, who won the first place, left various professions and went into animal husbandry. He returned to animal husbandry after being cheated while going to America.
It was reported that Mahato, who came third, gave up his addiction and went into animal husbandry. It is reported that Bhandari and his family's main occupation is animal husbandry.
The organizers have stated that the ‘show’ was conducted with the aim of establishing farmers accustomed to cow dung as ‘brand ambassadors’ of milk reaching the market and making the animal husbandry profession dignified and respectable.
The show’s producer Rabin Subedi informed that the winner was announced based on the evaluation of aspects such as farmers’ milking skills, behavior towards animals, diet management, cleanliness of the cowshed and purity of milk.
The show showed respect for hardworking farmers and the condition of livestock farmers and presented stories of hard work and struggle in an interesting way for the new generation to understand, Subedi said. He said that since the first edition received a positive response, there is a plan to make the program more informative and comprehensive in the coming days in collaboration with the Government of Nepal.
Program coordinator Govinda Neupane mentioned that the ‘show’ was conducted with the aim of making farmers ‘idols’ at a time when many farmers have achieved economic progress through animal husbandry. The event, sponsored by an organization called Kheti, was promoted by Bharatpur Metropolitan City.
