A mill on wheels

In Sugauli Birta, Nepal, Lorik Prasad Yadav had a an idea. Why force people to travel long distances to process their grain when he could put a mill on wheels? With the help of a bank loan, Lorik bought a tractor and affixed a platform with three threshers. He drives that tractor—his mobile mill— from house to house, bringing an essential service directly to the people who need it.

Traditional brick-and-mortar mills saw Lorik as a threat to their continued livelihood and filed a complaint with the authorities, so Lorik was compelled to suspend his operation.
