After spending 16 years in the village, I came to the headquarters of Tansen and learned to weave dhaka in the industry
I was born in Rambha Rural Municipality-2, Phoksingkot. Now I am 50 years old. Maiti had 6 sisters and three brothers. The stay in the remote village of Palpa was never pleasant. Growing up in poverty, he did not pay attention to studies.
After spending 16 years in the village, I came to the headquarters of Tansen and learned how to weave dhaka in the industry. In the beginning, even if he worked, he did not earn. After slowly learning how to weave J card dhaka, he got the opportunity to work in many dhaka industries .
Got married to an acquaintance from Tansen Municipality-7, Kunsare. Now Kunsare has a small house and a little land . According to the idea of husband and wife earning together, Tansen walked all over the market looking for a job. We worked as assistants in schools and colleges. We also worked as dishwashers, office assistants in the organization . As the days passed, two daughters were born. Now the eldest daughter is in Palpa. The younger daughter got married to a person from Okhaldhunga.
During the struggle, we also ran a grocery store and a vegetable store in Tansen. No matter how hard you try, you can't get here Send your husband abroad with a loan. However, the income could not be reached. And I remembered the skill of dhaka weaving . Now the husband is abroad. In my spare time, I weave Dhaka fabrics . There was a lot of sadness till 5/6 years ago . Now, I work in Dhaka industry and my husband sends money from abroad, so the household expenses are running . However, as expected, the money could not be saved . Time has passed while grieving.
I now weave sarees in the Dhaka textile industry . After starting to work in the industry, there is some satisfaction. I used to abuse unnecessarily instead of teaching at the place I worked. Now there is no complaint in weaving Dhaka fabric sarees. After finishing housework, I have started weaving clothes . I weave 4 to 9 sarees in a month . From which I earn from 10 to 20 thousand per month .
Even though I hit a lot of obstacles before, now I can breathe comfortably. Because it is expensive and fast, no matter how much you earn, it is not enough . It is difficult for a common man to manage household expenses . Remembering the past brings tears to my eyes even now. But I am trying to forget the past .
When Tansen came for the first time, I used to pay 150 rupees for a tent. Now I pay 5 thousand 500 monthly room rent for two rooms . The prices of pulses, rice, vegetables and spices have increased so much that we should not do anything. When I came to Tansen for the first time, I bought a bag of 25 kilos of rice for 150 rupees . Vegetables were available for one-two rupees per kilo.
Now the price of rice has exceeded 2 thousand . 200 rupees per kg due to the high cost of vegetables . Let's leave the matter of spices . 150 rupees per kilo has now reached 1000 rupees per kilo. How to pay the house expenses. Let's not talk about saving, the income is good in eating and drinking.
I plant grain in a small field . But even now it is difficult to grow. If you use the fields to cultivate, you will not get the corresponding return . That's why I wear it myself. The growth is not good. I did this so that there would be some relief in the price and not to let the fields become sterile .
I have a special suggestion for the government to think of a way to control the cost. It has become difficult for the poor poor families to survive. Let the attention of the relevant bodies reach this.
