These Zardoz always remain at their mercy, get exploited and left in a lurch with meager or no profit at times.<br />There arises a need to somehow eliminate these middlemen and if you go through the paper you can find the solution which i have discussed in detail.<br />Thanks once again and do remain connected to IMTFI as we will need your insightful comments in future also.Aimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745883028668674093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057985352570664629.post-13697414869130703912012-03-01T08:15:25.174-08:002012-03-01T08:15:25.174-08:00Zardozi style of embroidery has been in existence ...Zardozi style of embroidery has been in existence in India and particularly in Lucknow (which is considered to be the main center of zardozi work) from a long time but the growing industrialisation has led to its decline. Today, a lot of poor people have to suffer because it is their only medium of bread and butter and their talents are totally being overlooked. Most of the craftsmen are duped by the mediators and are paid less than what they deserve.<br />A proper government aid should be provided to them for their upliftment and so that they don't completely get vanished and reamains to be a part of our culture.kulsoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403772628882096683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057985352570664629.post-83268866863756270322012-02-28T10:32:28.859-08:002012-02-28T10:32:28.859-08:00Thanks a lot for an overwhelming response to the p...Thanks a lot for an overwhelming response to the paper. Faria, infact you are actually right in pointing out that a lot should have been discussed on the daily expenses incurred by the individual families. I have the data on it, but it was due to certain limitations on the length of the paper that the write up had to curtailed to a certain word limit and moreover the topic is specifically targeted towards the money management practices of these artisans and hence any diversion beyond the topic was seen as unnecessary. <br />I am really thankful to Huma Irfan,Dr.Arun Kumar Maurya and Raza for their inputs and inspirational comments. <br />Do remain connected to IMTFI and help us realize our motto that is spreading our research works throughout the world to aide the poorest of the poor.Aimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745883028668674093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057985352570664629.post-84722969223320299542012-02-27T00:19:18.960-08:002012-02-27T00:19:18.960-08:00a very nice weaving of cultural aspect in the ligh...a very nice weaving of cultural aspect in the light of economic dimension, problems and solution has been analyzed by this paper. it can be used to understand, analyze and device a solution by NGO,government or international organization..i wish that u keep running and writing such hidden and grave issues that are required to solve the real problems and get the goal of sustainble development for our societyDr arun kumar mauryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825604343561986922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057985352570664629.post-61716522179076280502012-02-26T16:21:12.555-08:002012-02-26T16:21:12.555-08:00I really enjoyed reading the paper.it's an exc...I really enjoyed reading the paper.it's an excellent account of financial management in scare resources.you have provided a very good description of earning of zardoz's ,however a quantitative estimate of expenses would be helpful for the banks and other formal financial institutions to gauge the savings potential. You may also want to write a little more on the current problems faced by the zardoz community especially the children lacking the education and medical facilities. Overall I liked your initiative. Keep it up.

The research findings are important at two levels; the first being that it highlights the pathetic conditions in which the poor live and their survival financial mechanisms and secondly it presents a solution in eradicating the middlemen from this profession because profit margins are being skimmed at higher end of the supply chain and fail to flow to the craftsman at grass root level. <br />These findings can be extended to all parts of the world where poverty is prevalent and where the poor are not being able to benefit, the fruits of higher market prices.<br />Thank you for your insightful comment and we look forward to your continued engagement.Aimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745883028668674093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057985352570664629.post-90127966457050571562012-02-24T02:59:08.716-08:002012-02-24T02:59:08.716-08:00This is a very nice step taken towards uplift of p...This is a very nice step taken towards uplift of poor. would like to know same can be extended in other states/cities/village as well.firdaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637871463085360944noreply@blogger.com
