Young people are migrating to India and abroad in search of employment opportunities. Lately, the villages of Doti are becoming uninhabited. Only the elderly and women are found in the village.
Vasant Vick of KI Singh Rural Municipality-4 Byal is happy in the village continuing the profession embraced by his ancestors. "I am supporting my family by making dokodalo, chaparo, suppo, nangla, challo and other products made from bamboo and nigala choya made by my father," Vasant said, "now I am planning to expand the business by bringing something different to this." Spring was initially driven by a desire to speak on the radio . Despite receiving training in announcing at local FM, he could not get an opportunity to work .
Even though the friends went abroad, he was gradually attracted by his ancestral profession. He built a two-room house with a zinc sheet roof in Bayal Bagad Bazar, which is near the village. Now he sells doko, dalo, chaparo, supo, challo in one room and an electronic shop in another room. "He learned this skill in his family at the age of 14/15," he said. He has been making items for domestic purposes by buying nigal from the villagers . He said that five heads can be made by buying a heavy nigal for 1000 rupees. "The family's expenses are covered by the money that comes from weaving dokodalo," Vic said, "This is the only way of income." He said that due to the high expenses and hard work, the income from this profession is not commensurate with the hard work. "Everything should be bought and eaten". There is no other product in the house . The price of food grains has also increased every day, but the price of Dokadala never increases. He is now selling his products in Pipalla and Tikhatar, the main markets of Doti. Although there are not many problems in the market, he complains that he could not get the price according to his hard work.
