A local level: In accordance with the federal government's policy of building an industrial village, women have got the opportunity to be active in productive labor after leaving the household work in the industrial village under construction.

In the industrial village established in Ambukhaireni rural municipality located in Tanahun, women are engaged in the production of bamboo materials such as mudha and nanglo by watching videos posted on YouTube. The women of Anbukhaireni, who are limited to household work, are moving towards economic self-sufficiency by using local resources. 

Gauri Gurung of Ambukhaireni Rural Municipality-3 Dhakaltar said that although she was limited to household work earlier, now she helps her husband to run the house with the money she earns by making mudha. "I learned how to make Mudha by watching videos on YouTube, now I am producing bamboo materials professionally," he said, "Three months ago, I took training in making toothpicks and chopsticks." But I learned how to make Mudha by watching a video on YouTube.

After the rural municipality started an industrial village using local products near home, Gurung is now busy making various materials including Mudha after finishing her housework. "The industrial village has given us employment, but due to the breakdown of the machines installed here, it has become very difficult to prepare the necessary materials from bamboo," she said. Along with Gurung, 26-year-old Rashmi Nepali has been making Mudha. "Before, there was no work to pass the time. Now, I have managed to earn about 40,000 rupees in 3 months by making Mudha,' she said, 'It was very difficult for me to meet my expenses, the skills I learned by coming to the industrial village after finishing housework have become a good means of income.' The rural municipality has started the industrial village from June 2081 with the aim of making local women, especially women from the backward class, skilled. After the establishment of the industrial village, 12 people have been employed in making bamboo products and 4 people have been employed in making iron products.

60-year-old Sanumaya Bhujel says that the market for the manufactured goods is not widening. "Currently, the demand for the bamboo material that we make comes only from within our own municipality," she said. Many people would also get employment.'

2 towers were built in an area of ​​about 90 ropani, and sofa sets, swings, dining sets, mudha, nanglo, etc., iron exercise materials, wheelbarrows, pings, agricultural tools, deskbenches etc. are also being produced from bamboo. 

Industrial village's mechanical engineer Bimalbabu Rana said that the aim is to produce using local resources and help in economic empowerment by creating employment opportunities in the village. "The physical structure is not enough to run the industry systematically," he said. That's why we are discussing to move forward with the plan of public partnership.

Shukar Chuman, chairman of the rural municipality, said that the production of bamboo and iron products has been started using local manpower, skills, resources and modern equipment. "Using the resources and skills available in the village, the production of materials as per the demand has been started through modern equipment," said Chuman, "Our goal is to connect the poor community in the village with income generation by teaching them household skills." It has been put into operation in Ambukhaireni Municipality at a cost of Rs.1 crore 92 lakhs of the association and Rs. According to the rural municipality, preparations are being made to move the industrial village to a 'company model' to run it in a sustainable and permanent manner. The municipality has said that there is a plan to add 10 small and medium industries in the coming days.
