Mayor of Tansen Municipality Mr Ashok Kumar Shahi, has always been positive about the revival of Palpali Dhaka sector as it is a pride product from Palpa district. He has always acted as a guardian for all those who were involved in this sector. He insisted on working as an organization rather than working as an individual industry. He told us that it will be easy for him to support an association rather than a single industry. In the meantime, Mr Baljit Vohra and his team were visiting Tansen, a meeting was conducted in Nanglo west including the workshops owners. Discussion on support needed in the Dhaka sector was done and Baljit realized that this sector needs serious support.

On the other hand, the workshop owners were frustrated competing
with each other. The reality of the Dhaka sector was much worse. Due to the competition, factory owners couldn’t pay the weavers well and they couldn’t increase the rate of the product. In reality, the price of the product was decreasing due to unhealthy competition. Some of the owners were in the meeting with Baljit. They proposed the idea of opening an association and starting the project for the revival of Palpali Dhaka sector. All these parallel incidents that took place at the right time and right place played a vital role in the establishment of Palpali Dhaka Association. Various meetings were conducted and organizations like Tansen Municipality, Palpa chamber of commerce were involved in the planning and opening of Palpali Dhaka Association.

Thus, the association was formed.
