The general objective of this study was to identify the level and perception of local people and their participation in the programmes and trainings run by JIDCO. The specific objectives of the study were to assess the perception and participation of people in the Income Generation Program (IGP) implemented by JIDCO, to assess the socio-economic impact of it and to examine strength and weakness of it. JIDCO has been implementing its IGP programmes in all 9 VDCs including Pakala, which are directly affected by the construction of Jhimruk Hydro Power project. The researcher selected Pakala VDC from among 8 other VDCs as it was more convenient for him to conduct this study from the give time constraint and budget. The study is basically based on empirical data along with available pertinent secondary data. For data generation multi-methodological approach was applied. For primary data generation, household survey of both non-participant and participant respondents, key-informant interview, focus-group discussion and observation methods were applied. Besides these field diary was also maintained to be more reliable information. The sample size was 50(25 participant respondents and 25 non-participant respondents) in total. The researcher had collected the name-list of the participants and select respondents from among them. The sampling size was 50% (25 respondents) of the people who had participated in IGPs. From the participant respondents, 12 % quota was reserved for the artisan and 20% each for women and ethnic group as JIDCO had informed that they were comparatively excluded and economically poor than Chhetry and Brahmin in the VDC. Likewise, to get better understanding about the impact of income generation programme, 25 non-participant respondents were selected. Caring the report of JIDCO about less participation from artisan and women from the VDC, the researcher had allocated 40% quota (20% each) for artisans and women and the rest 60% for economically poor, indigenous, ethnic and other caste groups. To find out non-participant respondent who was economically poor in the village the researcher had taken the help of key-informants. For the selection of the households, the simple random sampling method was used. The study is descriptive and analytical in nature in which descriptive statistic is applied for the analysis of the data. The analysis of the data was done manually. From the study it was found that all the respondents had positive remarks about JIDCO though it has to go for some correction in its some aspects. If was discovered that the family type, landholding size and educational level of the people were more influencing socio-economic factors that had determined poor and inactive participation in the study area. In general, income generating trainings provided to the local people by JIDCO’s were successful to increase their income to some extent. The trainees are acutely facing capital and market problem so that they fear to start their own enterprise. Nearly half portion (52%) of participant respondents had run their own enterprises. Those respondents who have not started their own enterprise stated that lack of money, availability of pesticides, lack of time, market and confidence are their problems. The local people of the study area have positive attitude towards IGPs, but their major comment was that their training period was very short. And it was found that there wasn’t proper dissemination about JIDCO and its programs that are highly appreciative in themselves. There is no effective initiation in field of raising awareness and the result is that the minority privileged group is benefited more that the poor. Majority of trainees who had taken enterprise development trainings are successful to improve their socio-economic status. The entrepreneurship development scenario is also satisfactory and 48 percent trainees have accepted that the trainings they had taken were much helpful for them and they have increased their income than earlier. The improved earning has enabled them for better schooling to their offspring, better clothes and, more comfortable life. Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are suggested for the improvement and better functioning of the Income Generation Programs: • JIDCO is recommended to initiate for right based (political, economic, social, property, educational, development process, women so on) and demand based approach. • So far, capital is the major barrier of the trainees to run their own enterprises in the study area JIDCO has to either arrange credit facility for the potential entrepreneurship or should coordinate and liaise with other organizations for it. • The emic1 approach that is dominant in almost all programs have to be discouraged and go for application of etic2 approach. • Since the level of awareness, education, economy, gender, caste/ethnicity, age, geographical distance, etc. are the sensitive elements in the field of development these should be cared most. Similarly, the gap between the training and the need of people should be reduced. The elements widening the gap between two must be identified and effective curriculum should be developed with participatory approach. • Should run trainings and programs in the off-farming period. • Conduct regular talk programs with the local people along with the teachers, and other rural elites for creating awareness. • Use media for information flow, awareness building and activate the participants showing documentary films on the related subjects. Besides, JIDCO should give continuity to reward the best participant for best performance. Take them to the field trip as their reward. And for the field trip select the concerning exemplary site. • Enroll local volunteers and mobilize them in the working sites for better result with less expense. For volunteers, JIDCO can select students or unemployed youngsters adding a new chapter in its working area in the field of development. In the case of student volunteers, it can mobilize them in the off-school days. This procedure is not only cost effective but also more result oriented. Further, it creates job opportunity to the local people and career development opportunity to the youngsters.Item Investors behaviours in Nepalese stock market(Bhairahawa M.

This study is mainly based in the primary information and the data were collected using the techniques of household survey with the help of questionnaire and interview. There were 623 households in this VDC. Out of total households 420 households were receiving remittance money. Among them 50 households were selected as the sample for the study. Most of the households from the study area were receiving remittance. In the study area it was found that Brahmin 40% and Sarki (Dalit) 30% were the major ethnic group in the study area. Remittance was the main occupation of this study area. 94% foreign migrant workers were male and only 6% were female. 44% foreign migrant workers were spending their remittance in buying land. 40% households were saving their remittance Rs 50,000 – 100,000 per year. After remittance foreign migrant workers households were receiving an amount of NRs 2 lakh to 6 lakh per year. 50% households economic conduction has improved through remittance. Similarly there was significant improvement in the foreign migrant workers households going for better health check up in private hospital and started to sent their children in school, colleges and universities after receiving the remittance in the study area. From the study area we can conclude that all the households who were receiving remittance are getting benefit. Their access to health and education and economy has increased. Likewise it also helps in net saving. The remittance is not using properly in productive sector if the households properly invest in productive sector it will help to develop rapidly which helps in rural development. All households were very positive towards remittance income. In the study area, remittance income has become an effective approach in reducing the poverty. The living standard of the people is gradually changing. People are now getting the proper health facilities and their educational status is also gradually increasing. The income of the family has been raised up ultimately uplifting the living standard of the people living under the poverty line. Some recommendation from our side like the income coming from remittance should be utilized in productive sector like business, agriculture, etc. there should be some vocational training institution in the local area for their skill development and so on. Result of the study suggests that remittance helps to reduce rural poverty and helps in rural development.Item Rural Poverty in Nepal (A Case Study of Semlar VDC, Rupandehi District)(Department of Rural Development, 2010) Parajuli, ShashidharNepal is a least developed country in the world, it has a rural economy based on agriculture and characterized by scare and underdeveloped resources increasing inequality, illiteracy, and unemployment and increasing poverty. Poverty is the cause of conflict, caste, ethnicity and gender discrimination. The present study has focused on the rural poverty of Semlar VDC, Rupandehi district of Nepal. It also explains the absolute, relative and total poverty, identifying the extent of poverty and incident of poverty in the study area. The study has been conducted in Semlar VDC. The respondents were selected 45 households out of 1459 on the basis of random sampling. In the study area, the subsistence level of living is determined through the calculation of the local market price of the cereal, pulses, and others food and non food items according to NPC, which is here absolute poverty level of the area is Nrs.26.54 per capita per day. Relative poverty is determined through the wolf- point i.e.Nrs.53.72. In the total sample population, male population is slightly greater than female. The percentage of male population is 53.4 and female population percent is 46.59. It is also found that among the total sample HHs 22.22 percent have female household heads and 77.78 percent are male HHs heads. The population depended in agriculture is 66.66. The percentage of economically active population is 54.65 percent. The study has found 12.05 percent of total sampled populations are illiterate; 67.75 percent literate and 20.20 percent population are educated. In the study area, 15.55 percent households and 18.02 percent people are absolute poor. 37.77 percent households and 36.61 percent people are relative poor among 45 households and 355 sampled population. In the study area, 46.66 percent households and 45.35 percent people are Non-poor. Similarly, the mean income of the poor household is Rs. 31.88 per capital per day. The mean income of the absolutely poor household is Rs. 17.45 per capita per day. The calculated value of Sen’s poverty index considering inequality is 0.2181 and without considering inequality in income distribution among poor is 0.1745. Gini-coefficient for total sample households is 0.5109. The value of Gini-coefficient among the absolute poor household is 0.13. It indicates that there is existence of income inequality among the absolute poor HHs. In the study area the majority of economically active population is engaged in agriculture sector, but they have low productivity, lack of agriculture credit, fertilizers and irrigation, small size of landholding, backwardness in technology. Lack of market facilities and low level of infrastructure development is also one of the main causes of poverty. The problem of poverty varies from place to place but most of the factor remains equal such factor like education, employment, health, social security and other institutional development in the local level are the most dominant factor of rural poverty. Alone none of the power can reduce poverty but the equal effort and collaboration with and within the various wings of the development policies, institutions and practitioners is necessary.Item A Study of Income and Expenditure of Pyuthan Municipality(Central Departments of Economics Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2016-04) Baidik, Devi RamNot availableItem A survey study on socio-economic status of working women(Global College of Management, 2011-02) Poudel, Achyut Prasadnot availableItem Women’s Participation in Income Generating Activities(Central Department of Economics Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur Kathmandu, Nepal, 2016-03) NIRAULA, NIRA
