While the order of registration of industries has decreased, the number of industries that are being canceled has also increased.
What you should know
In recent years, the number of household and small industries registered in Dadeldhura is decreasing. Not only industry registrations are decreasing, but many industrial firms that were previously registered are also going to be canceled. Because of this, there is a negative impact on self-employment and job creation in the district.
According to the data of Domestic and Small Industries Office Dadeldhura, 1,276 industries were registered in 2077/78. In the following years, this number is gradually decreasing. In 2078/79, 941 industries were registered, 505 in 2079/80, 289 in 2080/81 and 261 industries in 2081/82. While the order of registration of
industries has decreased, the number of industries being canceled has also increased. In the last financial year alone, 78 industries were liquidated. According to Keshav Bhandari, head of the office, a total of 7,565 industries and firms have been registered in Dadeldhura so far, with 4,803 industries and 2,762 commercial companies. However, about 20 percent of them are inactive. According to Bhandari, head of the
office, there is a great possibility that self-employment and employment can be created by establishing a domestic industry by using local raw materials, resources and labor. But the decrease in registration is worrying. Although the
office claims that it has been conducting various programs for the promotion of the industry, no direct results have been seen. Although there are concessional loans, training and technical assistance programs, it is seen that entrepreneurship has not reached the level that should be increased.
especially the increasing attraction of young people towards foreign employment, the uncertainty of the market, the lack of capital and the difficulties seen in government policies and regulations have led to a decline in industry registration.
Although there are plenty of agricultural raw materials in the hilly areas of Dadeldhura, there are not enough industries to process them. When the farmers are discouraged due to the lack of prices of agricultural products, if an industry based on local raw materials is established, there is a problem of both employment and income in the market.
