From buyer to seller: This Kavre village changes its vegetable dependence by 180 degrees in 5 years

Some five years ago, residents of the Kuikel Thumka village in the Namobuddha municipality-2 in the Kavre district used to travel to another village and buy vegetables enough for their weekly demands. But, today, the villagers have turned their condition around 180 degrees, and they are not just growing their vegetables but also selling them in neighbouring villages too.

They surely received some external help, but it was the villagers that have taken ownership and changed their livelihood. They say they are today happier than ever, to have sustainable and organic produce in their backyard. This Kavre village is an example of how modernisation does not have to be about tall, concrete buildings but more about adapting the tools and technology to their needs instead.
