Economic dimension of remitance in Bhagawatimai rural municipality Dailekh, nepal
(2024) Mainali, Shandhya; Baikuntha Pandey
The transfers, which are made by migrants who live and work abroad to people back
home, usually involve products or financial instruments. It is important to emphasize
that remittances only include payments made by workers who have been engaged in
foreign economies for a minimum of one year; payments made by independent
contractors are excluded (IMF,2024). According to the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB),
Nepal's remittance inflows have shown significant growth over the past decade. This
study attempts to analyze the economic impact of remittance in the rural area where job
opportunities are limited. In order to fulfill the objective of the study, primary data were
collected from Bhagawatimai Municipality of Dailekh district, Nepal using structured
questionnaire. Bhagawatimai Rural municipality which lies in the rural area of Karnali
province is purposively selected as a representative area in terms of rural agriculture
focus and limited job opportunities. Microsoft Excel was employed for data entry and
analysis, utilizing simple descriptive statistics for interpretation.
Findings reveal that the majority of remittance contributors are male aged 20–30, with
a religious composition predominantly Hindu. Educationally, most individuals have
completed secondary education, with a high percentage married. Malaysia emerges as
primary destinations for overseas employment. Notably, 95 percent of households
continued working post-remittance, with agriculture being a significant sector. The
study concludes several key points: remittances serve as a substantial income source
for households, reducing the necessity for overseas employment, if local opportunities
were available; limited education levels drive many families towards foreign
employment; economic necessity rather than better opportunities in urban areas
motivates overseas work; domestic sectors, particularly agriculture, require
development to provide competitive alternatives. Remittances have marginally
improved access to healthcare and education, further. Post-remittance, household
infrastructure investments have increased, alongside greater mobile phone ownership,
indicating improved communication avenues.
Dance party as a popular youth Culture in the great Gatsby and saturday Night Fever
(2024) Aryual, Laxmi; Dhurba Bahadur Karki
This research work examines dance party as a popular youth culture in Luhrmann
directed The Great Gatsby and John Badham directed movie Saturday Night Fever.
This study examines the inherent connections between the dance party and American
life of the youths. It implies how dance party as a popular youth culture becomes
integral part of American life in twentieth century urban America. Exploring the
cinematic techniques of camera and its movement, it applies the theoretical
approaches of popular culture defined by John Storey in his book Cultural Theory and
Popular Culture who views popular culture as widely favored or well-liked by many
people. It also studies how dance parties as a popular culture is represented in both
movies by the lens of the camera and its techniques. While doing this, it has applied
the theoretical approach implied by Stuart Hall in his book Representation: Cultural
Representation and Signifying Practices. Hall argues that representation is an
essential part of the process by which meaning is produced and exchanged between
members of a culture. The chief beneficiaries of this research work include culture
researchers, concerned stakeholders, humanities students and policy makers. It has a
tremendous prospect to promote dance parties as a popular youth culture.
