<p>The three-day festival organised by Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF), Nepal was instrumental in identifying opportunities and challenges faced by Nepali as well as South Asian artisans in the global market, reads a press statement issued by PAF Nepal.</p>
<p>Speaking at the closing ceremony of the three-day festival, Industry Minister Sunil Bahadur Thapa said, “Not only did this festival bring together artisans, experts and entrepreneurs from South Asia, but it also provided an opportunity for learning and sharing ideas across the region.”</p>
<p>Minister Thapa gave away PAF National Journalism Awards 2017 to four journalists representing four different media outlets.</p>
<p>Mahesh Kumar Das of Nagarik Daily (Nepali media), Prakash Singh of The Himalayan Times (English media), Tika Subedi of Janata Patra (local media) and Laxmi Basnet of Community Radio (electronic media) received the PAF awards.</p>
<p>Chief guest Thapa handed over cheques of Rs 40,000 to each of the winners.</p>
<p> Besides showcasing a wide range of exquisite handicrafts branded as <em>Nepal Ko</em>, the event also highlighted the need for collective efforts to promote traditional craftsmanship that faces a threat of extinction from machines.</p>
<p>Earlier in the day, speaking during a plenary discussion, Asian Heritage Foundation India’s Chairperson Rajiv Sethi said, “Machines can easily wipe you out. They do what you can do in a cost- effective way.”</p>
<p>He added that if consumers do not give due recognition to handicraft products and press for preserving their unique identity, nothing can stop machines from taking over the ancient craftsmanship.</p>
<p>Other notable guests at the festival including social entrepreneur Anil Chitrakar, Indus Heritage Trust Pakistan’s Chairperson Siddiqa Malik, Asian Heritage Foundation India’s Ankush Seth urged the concerned stakeholders to protect the rich cultural heritage that the South Asian region has in common.</p>
<p>“Culture can do what politics can’t. We stand to lose a lot if we underestimate culture,” Sethi said.</p>
<p>YB Thapa, vice chairman of PAF stressed the need of translating commitment into action for uplifting the handicraft sector.</p>
<p>He also pointed out the need of collective strategy in South Asia for the handicraft business to survive in the overseas market.</p>
<p>More than 100 Nepali artisans from rural, excluded and conflict-affected communities showcased and sold their products in the festival. Arts and crafts from India and Pakistan were also up for sale during the festival.</p>
<p> The festival was held to showcase handicrafts under the Making Market Works for the Conflict Affected Project of PAF Nepal, which was supported by Japan Social Development Fund (JSDF) and managed by the World Bank. The project is being implemented in seven districts in Nepal</p>

<p>The three-day festival organised by Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF), Nepal was instrumental in identifying opportunities and challenges faced by Nepali as well as South Asian artisans in the global market, reads a press statement issued by PAF Nepal.</p>
<p>Speaking at the closing ceremony of the three-day festival, Industry Minister Sunil Bahadur Thapa said, “Not only did this festival bring together artisans, experts and entrepreneurs from South Asia, but it also provided an opportunity for learning and sharing ideas across the region.”</p>
<p>Minister Thapa gave away PAF National Journalism Awards 2017 to four journalists representing four different media outlets.</p>
<p>Mahesh Kumar Das of Nagarik Daily (Nepali media), Prakash Singh of The Himalayan Times (English media), Tika Subedi of Janata Patra (local media) and Laxmi Basnet of Community Radio (electronic media) received the PAF awards.</p>
<p>Chief guest Thapa handed over cheques of Rs 40,000 to each of the winners.</p>
<p> Besides showcasing a wide range of exquisite handicrafts branded as <em>Nepal Ko</em>, the event also highlighted the need for collective efforts to promote traditional craftsmanship that faces a threat of extinction from machines.</p>
<p>Earlier in the day, speaking during a plenary discussion, Asian Heritage Foundation India’s Chairperson Rajiv Sethi said, “Machines can easily wipe you out. They do what you can do in a cost- effective way.”</p>
<p>He added that if consumers do not give due recognition to handicraft products and press for preserving their unique identity, nothing can stop machines from taking over the ancient craftsmanship.</p>
<p>Other notable guests at the festival including social entrepreneur Anil Chitrakar, Indus Heritage Trust Pakistan’s Chairperson Siddiqa Malik, Asian Heritage Foundation India’s Ankush Seth urged the concerned stakeholders to protect the rich cultural heritage that the South Asian region has in common.</p>
<p>“Culture can do what politics can’t. We stand to lose a lot if we underestimate culture,” Sethi said.</p>
<p>YB Thapa, vice chairman of PAF stressed the need of translating commitment into action for uplifting the handicraft sector.</p>
<p>He also pointed out the need of collective strategy in South Asia for the handicraft business to survive in the overseas market.</p>
<p>More than 100 Nepali artisans from rural, excluded and conflict-affected communities showcased and sold their products in the festival. Arts and crafts from India and Pakistan were also up for sale during the festival.</p>
<p> The festival was held to showcase handicrafts under the Making Market Works for the Conflict Affected Project of PAF Nepal, which was supported by Japan Social Development Fund (JSDF) and managed by the World Bank. The project is being implemented in seven districts in Nepal</p>

<p>Other notable guests at the festival including social entrepreneur Anil Chitrakar, Indus Heritage Trust Pakistan’s Chairperson Siddiqa Malik, Asian Heritage Foundation India’s Ankush Seth urged the concerned stakeholders to protect the rich cultural heritage that the South Asian region has in common.</p>
<p>“Culture can do what politics can’t. We stand to lose a lot if we underestimate culture,” Sethi said.</p>
<p>YB Thapa, vice chairman of PAF stressed the need of translating commitment into action for uplifting the handicraft sector.</p>
<p>He also pointed out the need of collective strategy in South Asia for the handicraft business to survive in the overseas market.</p>
<p>More than 100 Nepali artisans from rural, excluded and conflict-affected communities showcased and sold their products in the festival. Arts and crafts from India and Pakistan were also up for sale during the festival.</p>
<p> The festival was held to showcase handicrafts under the Making Market Works for the Conflict Affected Project of PAF Nepal, which was supported by Japan Social Development Fund (JSDF) and managed by the World Bank. The project is being implemented in seven districts in Nepal</p>

<p>The three-day festival organised by Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF), Nepal was instrumental in identifying opportunities and challenges faced by Nepali as well as South Asian artisans in the global market, reads a press statement issued by PAF Nepal.</p>
<p>Speaking at the closing ceremony of the three-day festival, Industry Minister Sunil Bahadur Thapa said, “Not only did this festival bring together artisans, experts and entrepreneurs from South Asia, but it also provided an opportunity for learning and sharing ideas across the region.”</p>
<p>Minister Thapa gave away PAF National Journalism Awards 2017 to four journalists representing four different media outlets.</p>
<p>Mahesh Kumar Das of Nagarik Daily (Nepali media), Prakash Singh of The Himalayan Times (English media), Tika Subedi of Janata Patra (local media) and Laxmi Basnet of Community Radio (electronic media) received the PAF awards.</p>
<p>Chief guest Thapa handed over cheques of Rs 40,000 to each of the winners.</p>
<p> Besides showcasing a wide range of exquisite handicrafts branded as <em>Nepal Ko</em>, the event also highlighted the need for collective efforts to promote traditional craftsmanship that faces a threat of extinction from machines.</p>
<p>Earlier in the day, speaking during a plenary discussion, Asian Heritage Foundation India’s Chairperson Rajiv Sethi said, “Machines can easily wipe you out. They do what you can do in a cost- effective way.”</p>
<p>He added that if consumers do not give due recognition to handicraft products and press for preserving their unique identity, nothing can stop machines from taking over the ancient craftsmanship.</p>
<p>Other notable guests at the festival including social entrepreneur Anil Chitrakar, Indus Heritage Trust Pakistan’s Chairperson Siddiqa Malik, Asian Heritage Foundation India’s Ankush Seth urged the concerned stakeholders to protect the rich cultural heritage that the South Asian region has in common.</p>
<p>“Culture can do what politics can’t. We stand to lose a lot if we underestimate culture,” Sethi said.</p>
<p>YB Thapa, vice chairman of PAF stressed the need of translating commitment into action for uplifting the handicraft sector.</p>
<p>He also pointed out the need of collective strategy in South Asia for the handicraft business to survive in the overseas market.</p>
<p>More than 100 Nepali artisans from rural, excluded and conflict-affected communities showcased and sold their products in the festival. Arts and crafts from India and Pakistan were also up for sale during the festival.</p>
<p> The festival was held to showcase handicrafts under the Making Market Works for the Conflict Affected Project of PAF Nepal, which was supported by Japan Social Development Fund (JSDF) and managed by the World Bank. The project is being implemented in seven districts in Nepal</p>
