Prime Minister Balen Shah's social media post featuring DDC cheese has unexpectedly drawn national attention to the state-owned Dairy Development Corporation (DDC). The post, which included the caption "Say cheese, DDC ko cheese," has sparked public conversation about domestic products and state-owned enterprises, with some users humorously noting a sudden scarcity of DDC cheese in stores.

  • The prime minister's endorsement is seen as a rare instance of political backing for a public institution that has faced criticism for financial losses and delayed farmer payments.
  • DDC officials report that the sudden attention has fostered optimism and boosted confidence among employees and dairy farmers connected to the corporation.
  • The prime minister stated that DDC belongs to the Government of Nepal, emphasizing its public ownership.
  • The viral post has shifted public focus toward DDC products, domestic industries, and consumer trust in state-owned enterprises.
