Dippal Budhathoki, A Beekeeping Farmer in Kaule
Dippal Budhathoki’s journey into beekeeping is a testament to the transformative impact of targeted interventions. Despite his initial reluctance, his life took a significant turn when SVSI provided essential beekeeping training and two modern beehives in Kaule, Ichhakamana-2, Chitwan. This timely support became a catalyst for change as Mr. Budhathoki soon realized the immense potential of beekeeping as a sustainable livelihood. Motivated by his early success, he independently expanded his operations, adding seven more hives to his initial setup, bringing the total to nine. Today, his enterprise yields an impressive harvest of up to 5 kilograms of honey per hive, utilizing "Apis cerana" bees, a species known for its adaptability to the region.
Dream School | Shree National Basic School, Bharang
Shree National Basic School, Bharang situated in Ichchhakamana-1, the heart of Kaule stands as a beacon of hope for 274 students, despite its remote and challenging location. The school is deprived of basic modern infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and the proper building. For these children, the prospect of a vehicle-based pick-up and drop-off system is nothing more than a distant dream. The rugged land structure prevents even the use of bicycles, forcing students to navigate unpaved, steep, and treacherous paths to attend their classes. Many of these children endure long walks, often lasting hours, which leave them exhausted and hungry by the time they reach the school.
