Doko, Dalo and Bhakari are not found in the remote mountains

Amargadhi. Doka, Dala, Suppa and Bhakari, traditionally used from rural areas of the remote hills, are disappearing due to the use of imported plastic materials and lack of raw materials. Until a few years ago, these tools used for agricultural activities and storage of safe food in the villages have been disappearing lately.

For generation TAG_OPEN_div_34 s, skilled people from the Dalit and tribal communities here had been making a living by weaving doko dalo, suppa and bhakari and selling it in various places in fairs, festivals and villages.

Birbhan BK TAG_OPEN_div_32 of Patan Municipality-10 said that this business has been disappearing due to increasing use of imported agricultural products in the last few years and lack of raw materials in the community forests of the villages.

According to him, the use of plastic and other metal materials from outside has caused problems in the collection of bamboo and swallows after the operation of transport vehicles in the villages. TAG_OPEN_div_30

Till a decade ago, the Dalit community had been earning a substantial income by selling household items such as doko, dalo, nanglo (suppo), challo, tapri, bhakari etc. TAG_OPEN_div_28

TAG_OPEN_div_26 Many people who have been earning their livelihood in different places of Amargadhi Municipality-7, Tiladi, Kaini Tol, Dola, Hantad and Navadurga rural municipalities of Dadeldhura have been forced to change their professions.

TAG_OPEN_div_24 Tika Parki of Amargadhi-7 said, “The way to income has been closed due to the lack of bamboo and swallowing.” He said that the problem has arisen due to the closure of the way to earn income by selling bamboo and swallow materials.

Jograj Bhatta TAG_OPEN_div_22 of Alital Rural Municipality-8 said that the number of farmers using bamboo and nigala products in villages is also decreasing. “Tractors were used in cattle work in villages, drums or plastic and steel utensils are brought from the market to store food grains. Now the materials woven from bamboo and nigala have disappeared,” he said. They complained that the Dalit community was facing problems due to lack of income as per the cost of producing materials by bringing raw materials from far away places.

The community sells between TAG_OPEN_div_20 Rs 400 and Rs 600 per doko made from bamboo and nigala choya. Similarly, Dalo, Bhakari, Mano and Nanglo are being sold for Rs 1,000 to Rs 4,000.

TAG_OPEN_div_18 This profession, which was taken over by some older generations, has been disappearing lately after the youth were attracted to foreign employment and business. There is also a lack of market to sell manufactured materials. It is not easily sold in nearby villages. Despite the sale, they have not been able to get a fair price.
