After spending about six years working in Malaysia, Laxmi Prasad Adhikari returned to Nepal and started commercial goat farming in his village in Bhojpur. He is from Dhunge in Arun Rural Municipality-7.
Adhikari earns roughly Rs 150,000 a year from the business, using capital and skills he gained while working abroad. His experience is being cited as an example for young people who return from foreign employment and are considering going abroad again.
From foreign employment to farming in Bhojpur
Adhikari has put his overseas experience and savings into a business at home. His goat farm offers an example of how returnees can use the resources they gained abroad to pursue work in their communities.
