DDC Faces Financial and Staffing Crisis Despite Balen Shah's Promotion of Yak Cheese

Prime Minister Balendra Shah's promotion of 'Yak Cheese' has brought the Dairy Development Corporation (DDC) into discussion, but the corporation faces significant financial and staffing issues. DDC owes farmers Rs 50 crore and has over 500 vacant skilled positions, relying heavily on daily wage workers. Despite increasing demand for products like Yak Cheese, the corporation struggles with outdated marketing, competition from informal dairies, and a lack of investment in modern technology, exacerbated by political instability and frequent changes in leadership.
