Kailali. Suresh Bishwakarma of Boradandi, Dhangadhi Sub-metropolitan City-3, has been saving Rs 40,000 per month from the nursery business. He is opposed to the idea that one should go abroad to earn a living and is operating ‘Kantipur Nursery’ and is engaged in commercial production.
Bishwakarma, who lives in Buddha Chowk, Dhangadhi-8, had gained experience in plant-related work by working for a long time at the Bioplantic Private Limited Company in Kathmandu.
After the experience, he returned to his village and started a nursery business. Bishwakarma has been doing business by renting four kattas of land for an annual rent of Rs 150,000. He said that he has been working in the nursery business for the past 13 years and has been running a business with an investment of Rs 5 million in Boradandi, Dhangadhi for the last five years.
Bishwokarma informed that he has been saving Rs 40,000 per month. He said that all the expenses of a family of six, including the education of their children, are met from this income. Stating that he has also provided employment to three people, he mentioned that the monthly salary expenditure is Rs 36,000.
‘This business is more risky than others. Sometimes, due to adverse environment, various infections appear in the plants and the plants deteriorate, rot, and become diseased, due to which losses also have to be incurred,’ he said, ‘Sometimes there is a loss in the business, sometimes there is a profit. One should not stop working hard with patience. This business has given me satisfaction, I have not had to ask anyone for money so far.’
Bishwokarma informed that he has been importing and selling various types of fruits, so-pants, and other plants from places like Jhapa, Biratnagar, Itahari, and Kanchanpur in Nepal.
He said that he also produces some plants himself in the nursery and sells them. Currently, various types of fruits, so-pants, and other plants are available in the nursery.
