Setang Community Homestay
Background
After returning from foreign employment some youth went to Ghale village and impressed by the homestay operated there so decided to run in their village too. Thus began the Setang community homestay. It was inaugurated on March 11, 2010 by the homestay government. The operation was carried out by Taran Ale. Guests staying at the homestay will be able to see the culture and lifestyle of the magar community, taste the local delicious food and also can see Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Annapurna, Macchapucchre, Lamjung Himal.
Commerical Structure
The endangered heritage such as endangered dances, parades, hymns etc can be created for the regular operation of the grant fund of the village. By forming a group or guthi related to dance, parade, hymns etc grants can be given annually which will encourage the continuation of the tradition and also reduce the financial burden on the concerned community. It seems to be able to make a significant contribution to the preservation of local architecture if the construction style, materials and culture of the traditional houses in Rishing village are differentiated. A magazine of original style houses within the Rishing village can also be made by mobilizing local youths to make general statistics about the houses and encourage them to take pictures of the houses. Significant contributions will be made to the preservation of local architecture if training programs are provided to local construction workers on construction of earthquake resistant buildings ( rural style house building training) and incentive programs or reinforcement of old houses. Local tourism will also benefit if stairways, toilets and sightseeing area can be constructed
Market Scenario
The women here would earn income if they could commercialize straw weaving Gundri, Dhakki, Chakati etc for domestic purposes. Risisng Koidim is self sufficient in Tomato production and this area is known as Tomato production pocket area. Cauliflower, potato, garlic, onion and mushroom are also produced in large amount in Koidim. Similarly paddy, maize, millet are also produced in large amount in Jhaputar. This place is also famous for Chilli production, though it is produced in large amount it has not been marketed properly. Vegetable collection centers, development of modern technology for selling unsold vegetables and marketing of dried vegetables have not been possible. There is no arrangement for the agricultural market.
