Historically a Gurung and Magar majority settlement, Bhujikot, along with its 3 neighboring villages offers a scenic package of natural beauty as well as cultural warmth. Bhujikot, one of the four village settlements in the study area, lies in the hilly region of the country, thus ensuring a balanced climate and pleasant weather. The study was conducted with the qualitative approach wherein the key participants were selected based on their background and experience in the subject matter. Interviews were conducted with the local residents, homestay owners, and subject matter experts as key informants. Both primary as well as secondary data were collected analyzed. The study assessed that, with rich cultural heritage, and diverse flora and fauna, there is a huge prospect in developing Bhujikot as a homestay destination if some of the basic infrastructure along with touristic awareness is developed in the area. There are some prominent challenges, mostly related to infrastructure and awareness of the locals, but with the decent amount of effort and investment, Bhujikot can really present itself as an ideal touristic destination providing authentic cuisines and warm hospitality – all with the background of Annapurna range of mountainsItem Socio- Cultural Change in Blacksmith Community: A Study of Limithana VDC, Parbat(Central Department of Sociology, 2009) Adhikari, PrakashNot AvailableItem Status of Women in Satar Community(Central Department of Sociology/Anthropology, 2009) Bimali, RitaNot AvailableItem A Study of Economic Changes of Cobblers of Khudi Khola Kaski(Central Department of Sociology and Anthropology, 2013) Tiwari, RajeshNot AvailableItem A study on Paradox of Ihi and Single Womanhood with Respect to Myths and Symbolic Meaning in Newar Community(Central Department of Sociology/Anthropolgy, 2009) Thapa Magar, JeniNewars, the traditional inhabitants of Kathmandu, distinguish themselves from the dominant Brahman-Chhetri culture in the performance of two rituals of Girls namely Ihi and Barha. Both of these ceremonies are related to marriage of girls with mortal god so that she never becomes single woman in her life. The study aimed to explore the symbolic meaning of Ihi and assess the real status of single women. Panga Des of Kathmandu district was selected as a study area because Newar community dominates this residential area. A multi stage sampling was carried out to select respondents. Key informants were consulted to find out the targeted groups. Among Newar women, single women were considered as targeted respondents. Single-woman includes widow, divorcee, unmarried (age over 35 years) and woman abandoned by her husband. The sampling size was taken as 28 % of the total single-woman of the study area (i.e. 62). The structured questionnaire was carried out to interview the respondents. Different questionnaires were used for different group of single-woman. The study was conducted in a small Newar settlement so its findings should not be generalized with whole Newar community. The study revealed that most of single women perceive these social customs as symbolic practice. So, the discrimination against divorced woman and widows also prevailed in Newar community. The study recommended adopting the social custom in the spirit of its cultural norms. Further, the study suggested for more comprehensive analysis in this social custom.Item Trends of Timber Marketing in Community Forests : A case study of CFUGS in Kaski district(Faculty of Humanities, 2008) Yadav, Yogendra PrasadNepal is surrounded by China and India.

This district is one of the hilly districts and centrally located in western development region. It is situated between 8349' East to 8417' East longitude and 285'North to 2835' North latitude and is approximately rectangle in shape.

There are 8 CFUGs, in average, involved in timber marketing in this district in the five year. The timber trade in highest quantity outside CFUG is done in 063/64 FY year. Similarly, least timber supply outside CFUG is in FY 060/61 (only 55 cft). The analysis shows that Takanja CFUG has sold 11,726 cft of timber alltogether in five year which is 35%. Least is by Satidevi CFUG 1265 cft in five studied fiscal year which comprise only 4%. The demand and supply situation of timber is compatible with the no of hhs. As there increase in hhs no, increase in the demand of timber by CFUGs except CFUGs in Takanja. The share of timber marketing by studied CFUGs is 36% in five year period. The total percentage of timber extraction from the CFs is only 39% than the their stock. This shows that still there is the over stocking of the timber in the studied CFUGs.
