Where Metal casting is one of the industries among the
other Handicraft industries.
3.2 Conclusions
Handicraft plays the important role for exporting goods
to overseas market. Most of the artisans are illiterate
because they have to work at their home at their teenage so
their desire is to develop their skill at making statues with
different traditionally style. Because of illiteracy they don’t
have the knowledge of modern technology and unable to
expand their production. The artisans are god gifted. They
have skill but unable to expand their production due to lack
of financing problem. In the absence of proper training
facilities efficiency metal sector of Nepal is facing a big
problem of quality and price competition and design
modification.

source of earning foreign exchange and helps in the further
development of country.
3.2 Recommendations
Regular and sufficient availability of raw materials at a
reasonable price for the production of metal craft is of one
ethe most important needs. Government should check their
availability of raw materials whether it is at a reasonable
price for the productions of metal craft.
Packaging is also one of the important part of
promotion of product. An attractive and efficient packaging
can be a very good means of gaining prestige.
There is always the duplications and piracy of metal
crafts which reduces the export of original. Nepalese metal
crafts so, government should make plans and policies to stop
the export of these policies to stop the export of these
duplicated metal craft goods and protect the traditional
metal craft industry and craftsmen.
Appropriate training centers with modern and
sophisticated facilities should be setup for providing training
to the personnel associated with the metal crafts industry.
The trained craftsmen would enhance the design and quality
of the metal crafts goods.
Craftsmen are not well educated so the businessmen
get the more profit than craftsmen. The skilled, semi-skilled
and the unskilled workers engaged in the metal crafts
production and distribution should be always encouraged.
They should be given hopes and scopes for up lifting the
metal crafts industry.
