CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION

1.1

Background Of The Study

Due to the rapid development in the field of science and technology, the economy of the any nation is highly affected. Due to the globalization, the organizations are getting borderless and the world has become very small. No nation can remain isolated from one another due to the digital revelation in technology. International trade had flourished worldwide. In fact it has become a part of economic activities in all nations.

Now a day the International trade is regarded as a key factor to measure the economic growth of a nation. Any country needs foreign currency of its economic prosperity. Both developed & underdeveloped countries can gain much more benefits from foreign trade. It can be very good source for earning foreign exchange. So, the developing countries like Nepal has no such satisfactory industrial products to export. But some distinct products which it produces „the best‟ and has high demand and export phisibility in the international market. One of the most common product having good export phisibility is handicraft. So the study of this product regarding export and its promotion is being essential.

1.1.1 Handicraft Generally, a producer solely made by human hands without using any kinds of complicated machinery and equipment is called handicraft. A simple dictionary meaning of handicraft is “an art or craft needing skill with the hands”. It is the practice of making decorative of functional objects, wholly or partly by hand, an requiring both manual and artistic skill According to Encyclopedia Britannica; “Handicraft is the occupation of making by hands usable products graced with visual appeal. Handicraft includes such activities as needlework, lace-making, weaving, printed textile decoration, basketry, pottery, ornamental, metal working, jeweler, leather working and wood working and such crafts as glass blowing and the making of stain glass that requires complex facilities” Therefore, we can say that handicrafts is an occupation that involves making usable or decorative products by hand. For e.g. Origami (Japanese for „paper folding‟). Developed in Japan, Origami is the art of making/creating different kinds of objects by folding a sheet of paper. They created forms range from simple figures to complex designs complete with handicraft enjoyed worldwide. It has been popular especially as an art from and hobby in Spain and Latin America.

Handicraft have been a valuable part of Nepalese heritage. They express the great tradition and proud culture of this great Himalayan Kingdom. Their origin can be traced back to the Stone Age when human beings were devoid of tools of any king. The history of articles of everyday use

8

may be as old as the history of man living in Nepal itself. But the history of „artistic handicrafts‟ probably can be traced only since the 5th century A.D. When one looks back to the Nepalese handicrafts design, materials, tools, craftsmanship and product development he/she finds them as old as the human civilization. 1.1.2 Introduction to Handicraft Association of Nepal

Handicraft Association of Nepal was established on 1971 to enhance and promote handicraft trade and industry. It was registered under Institutional Registration Act of Nepal. As a service oriented, non-profitable organization of private sector business and artisan community, it helps its members to improve their productivity, explore markets and introduce them to the international arena. It also works as a liaison between the members and the Government / Non-Government organization. The Association has more than 1400 members and three branches within Nepal. Today HAN has its own web site for the seekers of information about handicraft. Aims & Objectives of Handicraft Association of Nepal Broadly, Association‟s aims and objectives are as follows, To work towards steady growth of handicraft trade industry.

1.1.4 Introduction of Thanka The most popular paintings on canvas (coarse cotton) and on thick paper are often called thankas or pauvas based on the Tibetan influence are mostly introduced by the Tibetan refugees settled in Nepal and by the Sherpas and tamang tribes of the northern regions. Amongst a sect in northern Nepal, as in Tibet, the second son in every household be sent to a gumba (monastery), where he is trained to be a lama. Fine arts are one of the subjects for those students, who gradually turn into masters. This tradition is the chief reason for the profusion of paintings, (mainly on especially prepared and smoked cloth, but also on various other surfaces) that fill up all the gumbas in lama lands. This tradition is embued to the present generation as well, that these thankas based on traditional symbols, forms styles, and color arrangements and are carried out in gouache. Some for the artistic religious and historical paintings are also done by the Newars of Kathmandu Valley. 12

Varietis of the Buddhists and Hindu deities, secret philosophes and illustrative scenes full of narratives are painted by traditional methods. Mostly such paintings contain horror provoking images, the wheel of life, images of different gods and goddesses, illustrations of stories, various shaktis (erotic figures), imaginary representations of the great thinkers, etc. some of these paintings were originally made to fulfill certain purposes, such as (a) to serve as a guide out of chaos of the unconscious and the entanglements of the world. (b) As a support of concentration, meditation and ritual aids on the way towards the centre of the consmos and self and(c) as a magical instruments were merely looking at a painting the faithful might achieve what is desired.

While painting on coarse cotton of the ground with a mixture of chalk and glue, the colour, being likewise mixed with glue, become one with the ground. The finished painting is varnished with glue, become one duck‟s egg mixed with water. Thanka is specially prepared on cloth of paper or left bright subdued by some treatment are competitive to those in any other country. The artistic and decorative oriental value of these exotic works of art can blend tastefully and can be conversation piece in any modern drawing room.

Statement of The Problem

For the economic growth of a country like Nepal, there is a great role of handicraft goods. Nepal is a country with rich cultural and traditional value. There is a reflection of old age tradition and rich Nepalese culture in Nepalese handicraft. So we can earn foreign currency by export promotion of handicraft goods. In Nepal Handicraft association is established to promote production and export of handicraft goods. Thanak is one of the exportable handicraft product. So in this project work the answer of the following research question is tried to find.

(I) What is the tendency of thanka export? (II) What is the relation between total handicraft export and Thanka Export? (III) Which country is in the top priority regarding export of thanka? 1.2 Objective Of the Study Following are the objectives of the Study

(I)

To examine the relationship of thanka export with total export of handicraft

(II) To observer the trend of thanka export (III) To analyze the country wise export of thanka.

CHAPTER-III SUMMARY, CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION

3.1 SUMMARY Handicraft have beena valuable part of Nepalese heritage. They express the great tradition and proud culture of this great Himalayan Kingdom. The history of articles of everyday use may be as old as the history of man living in Nepal I itself. But the history of „artistic hadicrafts‟ probably can be traced only since the 5th century A.D. When one looks back to the Nepalese handicrafts design, materials, tools, craftsmanship and product development he/she finds them as old as the human civilization.

In Nepal the production, promotion and export of Handicraft is found to be facilitated by an organization called Handicraft Association which was established on 1971 to enhance and promote handicraft trade and industry. It was registered under Institutional Registration Act of Nepal. As a service oriented, non-profitable organization of private sector business and artisan community, it helps its members to improve their productivity, expolore markets and introduce them to the international arena. It also works as a liaison between the members and the Government / Non-Government organization. The Association has moiré than 1400 members and three branches within Nepal. Today HAN has its own web site for the seekers of information about handicraft. Thanka, one of the Handicraft products is the most popular paintings on canvas (coarse cotton)and on thick paper based on the Tibetan influence 28

Is mostly introduced by the Tibetan refugees settled in Nepal and by the Sherpas and Tamang tribes of the northern regions. This tradition is the chief reason for the profusion of paintings, (mainly on especially prepared and smoked cloth, but also on various other surfaces) that fill up all the gumbas in lama lands. Some for the artistic religious and historical paintings are also done by the Newars of Kathmandu valley. In this painting varieties of the Buddhists and Hindu deities, secret philosophies and illustrative scenes full of narratives are painted by traditional methods. Mostly such paintings contain horror provoking images, the wheel of life, images of different gods and goddesses, illustrations of stories, various shaktis (erotic figures), imaginary representations of the great thinkers, etc.

In this study the data concerned with Total Handicraft export and Thanka export is presented. All the data presented relates from FY 2058/059 to FY 2063/64. The data are presented by means of Tabulation and also plotted in various types of diagram to make the data presented in cardinal number clear. The data has been presented to analyze the objectives of examining the trend of Thanka export, analyzing the relationship between Total Handicraft export and Thanka Export, ascertaining different export countries on priority basis. The trend analysis of data is brought through least square method. While studying the trend it was found that the average export of thanka for the past 5 years was Rs. 16945648.2 and the value of b is found to be 29

98233.9. Since the value of b is positive the trend of Thanka export is in rising trend. The analysis of coefficient of correlation between Total Handicraft export and Thanka Export found that these two sectors have moderate degree of positive correlation since the value of r calculated was 0.50.

The analysis of coefficient of variation of export between different five countries helped to know ascertain the export countries on the priority basis. On he priority basis the USA is in top priority regarding uniformity on the Export as its CV is found to be smallest i.e. 10.63 where as the C.V. of Export for India, Germany, Japan & France is 20.15, 24.85, 47.54 and 49.87 respectively.

Recommendation

Based on the findings of the study the following recommendation is formulated.

Quality control is one of the great problems in Nepalese exportable goods. Due to the lack of quality checking system quality less product may be exported which may reduces export in the future. So the effort should be taken by the side of government to establish quality checking department for exportable thanka.

Due to the chief kasmiri product there is high competition in export, which may reduces the export of thanka in the future. So government should be careful to get the patent rights of the Nepalese thanka.

The association should give proper training for its member to produce quality product. Also the member of the association should be careful to maintain the quality of their product.

The association should take its effort to search new export countries and modern means of export by using recent net services. 31
