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.
