The age has reached 84 years. Even at this old age, he pedals an old bicycle and reaches far. He is going from village to village to sell them by keeping a bag in front and plastic ropes and various materials made of ropes in the back.

84-year-old Ramswarup Rana of Bedkot Municipality-10 Nayagaon in Kanchanpur is going from village to village covering a distance of several kilometers. They go around the village all day and sell ropes and other materials and return home late at night. He makes and sells ropes for tying quadrupeds, ropes and nets for carrying apples and leaves from the forest.

He said that such ropes are being sold for one hundred to five hundred rupees. That is why I am running the household expenses. Sometimes I reach one village and sometimes another village and sell rope," said Rana. "It's been five years, it has started to sway." He buys rope-making plastic from the market. Then they take it home and make the rope themselves. If there is a lot of demand, other people from the village are also employed to make ropes. He also gives a fixed salary for that.

Rana eats in the morning. Then they put the rope and other materials on the bicycle and walk saying the names of the things they have. "Take the rope, take the betel net, take the cow's mask" like this, they walk around promoting their content. After the lockdown during the corona infection, he had a lot of problems to support his family. From that time, he started selling rope from village to village. Then this became the source of income. Now he is used to it.

To sell plastic ropes, he reaches from Gaddachouki in Bhimdatta Municipality to Bedkot Municipality and one day to Beldandi and Belauri in the southern region along with Shuklaphanta Municipality. "On days when the dal sells well, you can eat salt, but some days it sells for only 100/200," says Rana. They didn't even think about selling. He used to make it for the villagers as well.

He came up with this trick while staying at home during the lockdown. Now he has also become customers who buy such materials. Especially in rural areas, those who raise livestock, carry grass and firewood use such materials. He is also his client. He said that the demand for such materials is more towards Chure Fedi and the southern region of the district.

'Some people even call,' said Rana, 'but I stay at the place I go to for a month or two.' The demand for nets is high. He is busy with this work for twelve months.
