Abstract
The Satranji handicraft industry forms a major part of the rich cultural heritage of the country.
An Art evolution of Satranji Palli is referred that, traditionally, skilled and experienced people
who are engaged to make Satranji (Satranji is a handmade products that is made of colorful
shanel, like as floor mat, wall mat, showpieces etc) It is an unorganized, decentralized, labour
intensive handi industry. Some of the strengths identified are availability of abundant & cheap
labour to make Satranji, use of local resources, low capital investment and unique
craftsmanship in the manufacturing of products along with increasing appreciation of local and
international consumers. The purpose of this paper was to examine an artistic evolution of
Satranji Shilpa, Satranji palli, artisans (Satranji Palli workers), their problems, Social,
economic condition, consu
market analysis of Satranji, International market place of Satranji etc. To complete this report
I use qualitative research methodology, the sample size is typically small, and respondents are
selected to fulfill a given quota. . It has been applied a Satranji Palli based simple random
sampling procedure using in-depth interviews; semi structured questionnaire survey and
analyzed with a wide range of qualitative cross sectional mode of approach. The findings of
this Report are how effective are these efforts, remains questionable. This case, through a
secondary literary study presents the current situation of the Satranji and the artisans alike in
order to facilitate analysis of problems and identification of developmental pathways. The
analysis of the Satranji handicraft Products can help us to determine the current situation of
the business, challenges and gaps between demand and supply, source of raw materials and
manpower, potentiality of employment, and its prospect for the future.

1.1 Introduction
Satranji is a creative art of weaving and technically it is similar to modern tapestry. In the past,
Satranji was considered as a status symbol of aristocratic families. Satranji is a handmade
product of artisans. This types of handicraft has no institutional framework, totally it is done
This very
attractive and colorful fiber yarn was used to make seat cover, bed sheet and wall mat for
interior decoration of houses. Even extra-large size Satranjies were produced and used to cover
a place of big public gathering to hold meetings or music conferences. Now-a-days, Satranji is
used to make diversified creative products like coin purse, ladies hand bag and table mat.
Satranji is a centuries old traditional way of producing handmade colorful carpets still being
practiced in Nishbetganj, Rangpur district of Bangladesh. In order to develop and promote the
craft, the government is
government will invest around Taka 10 million to set up the village, which will include 116
weaver families from Nishbetganj. These weavers, who work in the unorganized sector, have
been producing colorful wall-mats, floor-mats, bedcovers and many other items.
1.2 Background of the research
Handicraft sector in Bangladesh comprises with small manufacturing units and mostly located
in rural areas, operated either by the owner themselves or with the assistance of a small work
force of 10-20 people. Total number of workforce associated with the industry stands
approximately over 3 million of which over three quarters are employed in textile, jute goods,
wood, lather, cane and bamboo. These are followed by metal-works and pottery. A rough
estimate shows that exports occupy about 20% of the total production. Organized effort in
marketing Bangladeshi handicrafts overseas is, in fact, a matter of recent past-although some of
the products were able to find export destinations a little time back. And all though at present
Bangladeshi handicrafts are being exported to well over 50
poorest countries, ranking third after India and China in the extent of poverty. The population
is predominantly rural, with about 85% of its total people living in rural areas. Estimates of
rural poverty rates now stand between 53% and 43.6%. So being more than half of the total
development of a
-
17
country. Poverty is a curse for Bangladesh. As some 63 million people (roughly half of the
population) still live in severe deprivation, according to 2014 data, inequality within and across
regions is gradually increasing. Though it is impractical thinking to eradicate poverty from the
root at all but it is not impossible to reduce the extent of the curse of it by molding it within a
tolerable limit. In Bangladesh mainly some NGO have taken some initiatives to create working
opportunity for rural people through supporting handicraft production. They are trying to improve
the socio- economic condition of rural people by providing them a means of working. This study
tries to identify the contribution of handicraft.
Bangladesh it is a crying need to focus on the poverty alleviation aspect and the development
of rural human resource issues as they are highly inter-related. Proper utilization of human
resource is a burning issue in this highly competitive world. In this aspect Satranji Shilpa can
be proven a benison for Bangladesh as sector of employment where both men-women and
educated- uneducated people can adjust themselves suitably and profitably. Satranji Shilpa
would be an important sector not only in providing employment to a vast segment of persons
in rural and urban areas but also in terms of generating substantial foreign exchange for the
country which will be seemed as a boon for poverty alleviation.
The workers of shataranji Shilpa is crying need for developing rural human resource and how
this development could be possible through the proper utilization of the potentiality to reduce
for the poverty alleviation perspective and ensure the glorious future of Bangladesh. It will
also focus on the issue that how respond to this crucial need for Bangladesh and if its scope
can be widened then how it will ensure sustainable Elysian future for Bangladesh.
ndicraft product was introduced in the market. And in
80s the product got market acceptance, and this became its growth period. In the 90s, the
Satranji Handicraft products of Bangladesh experienced a slow growth, and it is the maturity
period of the product. After 2000, the sales of product decreased because of its old design and
poor quality. Moreover, new competitors came with newly-designed, innovative and quality
-
18
Satranji shilpa is a growing economic industry like a developing country such as Bangladesh.
Day by day people are more skilled about their work. Satranji Shilpa in Bangladesh is having
glorious past, questionable present and blurry future due to a lot of internal and external factors
that are acting behind the scene. there are some predetermined factors, like - shortage of
working capital, high cost of raw materials, lack of organizing capability, inadequate
technology & efficiency, lack of policy support, great knowledge gap, lack of power supply
and shortage of credit facilities, those are the main forces that directly hit the Satranji Shilpa,
Nishbetganj, Rangpur Bangladesh.
1.3 Aim and objectives:
The focused Aim and objective of this study is
To identify the contribution of handicrafts industry in rural human resource development and
show how it will act as a means for the poverty alleviation of Bangladesh. To support the main
objective there are some other objectives. These are-
1. To find the contribution of Satranji handicraft industry to the rural human resource
development.
2. To find the contribution Satranji of handicraft industry to the poverty alleviation of
Bangladesh.
3. To provide recommendation for the development of Satranji handicraft industry as it
will in turn contribute to the development of rural human resource and poverty
alleviation.
4. To know about the socio economic condition of Satranji Palli, Nishbetganj, Rangpur
1.4 Justification of Study Area Selection
The overall approach of area selection is to use a multi-disciplinary team of professionals and
supervisors with experience in conducting micro and macro level socio-economic evaluation
studies and preparation of analytical study reports. The emphasis is given on:
Development of an effective work plan for execution of the assignment.
Efficient and effective process for collection of necessary and relevant information
based on both desk research and field studies.
Innovative approaches and smooth co-ordination to achieve the desired results.
-
19
Using specialist resources and information gathered for the study to reach an authentic
assessment of status of the Satranji palli people Satranji Handicraft sector in the
proposed states. While fabricating analytical framework to bring effectiveness of the
study following are the key components of the analytical frame work followed for this
study.
Socio -demographic characters: These characters in terms of family composition, sex ratio,
marital status occupational pattern, literacy rate were studied. These characters are found to be
necessary in view of spare spread of Satranji palli population in the remote villages with and
without communication facilities. The results would reveal the need for necessary changes by
the executing agencies.
Income structure: Income structures are examined in terms of activity wise composition of
family income. Family income was estimated from farms business and non-farm business like
income from handi-Satranji, income from hand loans, wage income, income from service.
Infr astructure and Institutional development: These two aspects were studied to assess
their impact in terms of improvement of the living standards of the Satranji palli people
households. Infrastructure facilities like road communication, draining water, sanitation, type
of dwelling units, and institutional facilities in terms of market outlets, training procurement
of raw materials. These facilities demonstrate the living condition of Satranji palli people
households. The whole methodology and approach was adopted keeping in view the Satranji
palli people households involvement in producing Satranji palli people Satranji Handicraft of
different varieties and are covered in the light of the objectives envisaged for the study
1.5 Limitation of the study
M research had several limitations. The study was primarily limited by its small size. The
sample size could have been expanded by including problem and prospects of artisans,
recommendations of Satranji in all criteria. An earlier start in data collection would have
-
20
increased the time needed to survey more participants. More contact between the researchers
and the target sample may have increased participation. Ideally the number of participant
would have been more evenly disturbed across gender. The participants represented a narrow
range of age. A larger sample with more diversity would have benefited our results. Including
groups could have diversified the ages represented in the sample. My study would have
benefited from a question reading survey. Participants may have had a better understanding of
survey items had a definition of observation included on the questionnaire. The most obvious
limitation of the study is its cross-sectional design. Therefore, firm Conclusions about the
directions of causality implied in the model cannot be drawn. Thus, relationships among
variables must be interpreted with caution. Interpretations of Models using structural equation
modelling are also not proof of causality. True causal Inferences can only be drawn testing
models using longitudinal data.
There were several limitations that appeared during the research work. The limitations of this
study are as follows:
Shortage of time period for the project report.
The related people were uninterested to provide any data.
The present study was based on Questionnaire survey so getting accurate answer
sometime became problematic.
My study area not so developed so it was difficult to collect secondary information or
data from the related institution.
Lack of consciousness to the local people.
Lack of financial support.
1.6 Selection of Study Area
Rangpur division became Bangladesh's seventh division on January 25, 2010. Before that, it
had been a district under the Rajshahi division.The Rangpur division consists of eight districts
namely: Rangpur Dinajpur, Kurigram, Gaibandha, Nilphamari, Panchagarh, Thakurgaon, and
Lalmonirhat. There are 58 Upazilas under these eight districts and Gangachara upazila is
located under Rangpur district. My selection study area is Radhakrishnapur union ward no 17,
in Nishbetganj, which is situated under this Rangpur City Corporation. This Upazila is more
Beautiful because it is located near river side area and mostly route level area and

here women participation in different Satranji Production activities and their socio-economic
conditions cannot be overlooked due to several problems .But day to day women wants to
improve their socio-economic conditions by these activities, Satranji Shilpa is a growing up
industry, so it may vast industry in future, this industry can eradicated the poverty of these,
undeveloped region like as Rangpur, for this reason this Report is done at Shataranji palli,
Nishbetganj, Rangpur
1.7 Literature review
The literature review presented in this paper summarizes theoretical and empirical studies that
provide the background for understanding the key aspects of handicrafts industry, rural human
resource development and its effects on the poverty alleviation aspect of Bangladesh as a
whole.
UNESCO, (1997) states that, artisanal products / handicrafts are those produced by artisans,
either completely by hand, or with the help of hand tools or even mechanical means, as long
as the direct manual contribution of the artisan remains the most substantial component of the
finished product.
ICCIM (2000) argues that handicrafts translate into part of a culture and industry that applies
different from machine-made or mass-produced counterparts.
Studies/surveys conducted by the EPB and BANGLACRAFT (An association of Handicraft
producers and exporters) and ECOTA (Fair trade Forum) provide strong evidence in support
of this. In the light of these finding, it appears that the main markets for our handicraft product
are in gifts, house wares, home decoration, seasonal products, toys and personal accessories.
Handicraft industry is indeed a very encouraging factor. Existing workforce in this sector is
near about 4 million, most of whom have accepted the craft work as a means of their livelihood.
Studies suggested that traditional Bangladeshi products which have made some dent in the
export market have the potential for increasing their market share significantly. These are
traditional decorative Jutes (muslin, Naksha kantha, jamdani), block printed, vegetable dyed
Jutes, artificial flowers, woven jute products, cane basketry, pottery, small leather goods
(wallets, purse, and belts), etc.

Besides, few national development plans currently include many explicit human resource
developments. Human resource development is dealt with sectorally in separate sections of
national planning documents and typically implemented by several agencies. There is currently
no single unified policy or plan for the development of human resources.
UNDP(1991) defines Human Resource Development as the policies and programs that support
and sustain equitable opportunities for continuing acquisition and application of skill,
knowledge, attitude and competencies which promote individual autonomy and are mutually
beneficial to individual organization, the community of larger environment of which they are
part.
1.8 Conclusion
The Satranjies are known the world over for their rich variety, grace, and elegance and skilled.
The high skill of craftsmanship of the inhabitants of this region. Household utensils plain and
painted Shanel brought about by the rhythmic implements, ornaments, were some of the artistic
and valuable things found there. Varieties of Satranji are produced over time in all parts of the
Nishbetganj including my study areas. So Satranji is the space reflect and preserve in them
the results of centuries of patient experiments of man under varying circumstances. Like art
craft treasures also reflect the taste of human society through the individual and give collective
mind of the Satranji Palli. Satranji not only satisfy economic wants but also the aesthetic
yearning of man.

Conceptual Framework of
Satranji

24
2.0 Introduction
A Satranji sometimes more precisely expressed as artisanal handicraft or handmade, is any of
a wide variety of types of work where useful and decorative objects are made completely by
hand or by using only simple tools. It is a traditional main sector of craft, and applies to a wide
range of creative and design activities that are related to making things with one's hands and
skill. Usually the term is applied to traditional techniques of creating items (whether for
personal use or as products) that are both practical and aesthetic. (Bangla pedia -2010)
Satranji is a long lasting, durable and hygienic shanel, cotton thread and jute. Now it has a
demand on the foreign countries and also in our country. Apart from Satranji, it makes saga
carpet, wall mat, table mat, cusson cover, and Different types of cotton bags, weaving cotton
cloths, and Punjabi, Pajama, and Fotua, three pieces, Shari etc.
Satranji has its roots in the rural crafts the material-goods necessities of ancient civilizations,
and many specific crafts have been practiced for centuries, while others are modern inventions,
or popularizations of crafts which were originally practiced in a limited geographic area.
Etymology: Th
& ''Ranji, means color but in locally Satranji refereed that, Hundred colorful fabrics is
combined the term of Satranji. The earliest mention of Satranji and its development as an
industry is found in Nishbetganj, Rangpur Bangladesh.
2.1 Origin of Satranji Palli:
During the British rule in India, the diversified usage of Satranji in the upper class society was
very much common. Hunter in an article in the Rangpur Gazetteer published in 1912 referred
to the quality artisanship of Satranji weavers of Rangpur and the marketing aspect of their
products. He wrote that collector of Rangpur district Mr. Nishbet volunteered himself to be the
lead patron of the local Satranji weaving artisans in 1880. He was impressed very much to see
the artistic design and knitting of Satranji there.
-
25
2.2 History of Satranji Shilpa:
Mr. Nishbet extended his all-out assistance to the weavers of that region for the development
and marketing of their Satranji products. An exclusive industrial park for Satranji weavers was
built at a place 5 kilometer from Rangpur town. That place, later known as Nishbet Ganj, turned
into the production hub of Satranji materials. A huge volume of Nishbetganj Satranji was
exported to many countries including Sri Lanka, Burma, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia
after fulfilling the demand of domestic markets across India. It is believed that the tradition of
Satranji weaving was there even before 1830. Historical evidences found locally reveal that
Rangpur was a leading Satranji production centre during the Mughal rule. So it is evident that
the art of Satranji weaving is a deep-rooted tradition of North Bengal Satranji. After the
partition of India in 1947, the demand of Satranji started declining as its substitute goods
manufactured in mills and factories undersold Satranji. As a result, most of the Satranji
weavers had to change their occupation. However at present, the art of Satranji weaving still
survives in a very limited extent in Rangpur although the artisans concerned face many
limitations including inadequate capital, unplanned marketing, poor attention of the consumers
and the traders and overall a very small market. As a result, Satranji; a unique, industrial and
potential art form of weaving is now disappearing. (Source Bangla pedia 2010)
2.3 Elements of Satranji Production:
The principal raw material for weaving Satranji is yarn. Cotton yarn, jute yarn, wool and
different type of fibers, after buying from the market, are dyed and dried by the weavers, 10 to
35 feet long bamboo frames are used to dry the yarn. Then the bundles of yarn are made and
those bundles are fixed in the loom or laid down on the floor to knit a Satranji by hand
following a set design. The art of Satranji weaving mainly depends on skillful operating of
fingers. A comb like instrument called panja is used to tighten the knitted yarns. Thus, one to
Satranji. The common designs of
Satranji include: face of a women, animals-birds, a farmer boy, a lady with pitcher, boats, king
and queen, gods and goddess, mythological characters and scenery of the nature.
-
26
2.4 Shape and Size of Satranji
The common shape of Satranji is rectangular, but Satranjies are made by hand in any other
shape including oval and square. Its set minimum size is 30 inch by 20 inch and maximum size
is 30 feet by 20 feet. However, the shape and size of a Satranji depends on the demand of the
buyer. At present, the weavers themselves develop the designs or the buyer supplies the design.
But earlier, there were specialized artists to finalize the designs for Satranji.
2.5 Artisans of Satranji
A Satranji reveals not only the professional excellence of its artisan but also his or her level of
the sense of aesthetics. So both the excellence and the sense of aesthetics of an artisan are
equally important for Satranji weaving, which is not only his profession but a professional
craze indeed. If the existing problems like dearth of raw material, absence of governmental
patronization, lack of co-ordination and marketing facilities at home and abroad can be solved,
the art of Satranji weaving will expand successfully and get back its past glory.
2.6 Annual Budget of Satranji
To develop Satranji Shilpa through skill development training for socio economic development
and poverty alleviation of Satranjee Shilpa. About Tk. 200.00 lakh taka will be disbursed
among the artisans engaged in the Satranji industry as credit facilities and about 660 persons
will be trained up as skill development under this report there is a provision for Production
cum display centre to assist marketing of produced goods. A total no of 390 persons has been
trained through 26 training courses and 45.00lac taka has been disbursed among the Satranji
artisans under this report from since inception. The report is being implemented in Nishbetganj
and Radhakrishnapur of Rangpur district (Bangladesh Handloom Board 2014 Data)
2.7 Satranji Shilpa:
Satranji Shilpa is a growing economic industry like a developing country such as Bangladesh.
Day by day people are more skilled about their work. Satranji Shilpa in Bangladesh is having
glorious past, questionable present and blurry future due to a lot of internal and external factors
that are acting behind the scene. There are some predetermined factors, like
-
27
Shortage of working capital,
High cost of raw materials,
Lack of organizing capability,
Inadequate technology & efficiency,
Lack of policy support,
Great knowledge gap,
Lack of power supply and
Shortage of credit facilities,
Those are the main forces that directly hit the Satranji Shilpa, Nishbetganj, and Rangpur
Bangladesh.
2.8 Challenges to way out:
Scattered traditional artisans are out of modern fashion and designs while still they are
innovating at their best. Integral effective research and development system is must for creating
new international brands or reaching the existing local brands to the international arena.
Existing products are now being to India to some extent. Export to other markets should get
preferences. Public or private authorities s
claim special value addition and incentives for the products. Although skills of our workers
are up to the expectation level, they are lagging behind in capturing the modern technology
due to lack of infrastructural support from the government (Sobhan, 1989). Generally due to
conventional process it takes much time to make the goods. Due to low production, workers
have low income. So, many of them are eyeing on other professional fields. In many clusters,
only old age people do the Handloom weaving, young people are not taking weaving craft as
their profession. Training and skill development of the young and introducing them with
modern designs can encourage joining the sector. Integral effort to link the handlooms and its
can solve main problems of the Satranji industry.

Figure 2.3: Countryside Exports of Satranji Handicraft
2.10 Satranji Concentration Areas:
In the changing world scenario, Satranji products exported to various countries form a part of
lifestyle products in international market. The impact is due to the changing consumer taste
and trends. In view of this it is high time that the Nishbetganj Satranji Handicraft industry
went into the details of changing designs, patterns, product development, and requisite change
in production facilities for a variety of materials, production techniques, and related expertise
to achieve a leadership position in the fast growing competitiveness with other countries.
The Satranji persons who are the backbone of Nishbetganj Satranji Handicraft Industry as
provided with inherent skill, technique, traditional Satranjies man-ship but that is quite
sufficient for primary platform. However, in changing world market these Satranji persons
need an institutional support, at their places i.e. Satranji pockets for value addition and for the
edge with other competitors like China, Korea, Thailand etc.
To spread out Satranji product international buyers are ordered in online and they ordered the
different types of Satranji demanding to their design size, shape, color, and such as outlook,
this products is reaching those countries whose are demand by transport, such as Ship, Aero-
plane. Etc. after getting the products of Satranji, they pay online through western money gram
or PayPal etc.

4.1 Introduction
This chapter iswill be focusing on the research design, sampling techniques, methodologies,
Etc. This study is descriptive and analytical. The major part of the study depends on primary
and secondary sources, but information has also been obtained from a sample of 100 handicraft
unit holders (selected randomly) through a well-designed questionnaire. Various statistical
tools and techniques have been used to analyze and interpret the data
4.2 Research Methodology
Research is the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information (data) in order to
increase our understanding of the phenomenon about which we are concerned or interested.
Research is a common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. The urge of understand things
may be rightly termed as research, in other words we can also refer research as a scientific and
systematic search of pertinent information of specific topic. The concept of research is thus
closely linked with human endeavor for better understanding of his evolution, environment
and growth through diverse stages of human history.
Research therefore, has been an integral part of academic pursuits in the past. It has served two
fold purpose, intellectual sharpening and evolving new theories to explain diverse
Phenomenon through which mankind survived with the progress of modern era. Human
curiosity has leads to understand his environment in different angles. This process of studying
this awareness of man manifested in a process known as research
Systematic way is very important to complete any work properly. Research methodology is a
way to study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his
research problems systematically along with the logic assumptions and rationale behind them.
Research methodology can be varied depending on the objectives of the research.
Research methodology is one of the important parts in any research work. Research
methodology is the description, explanation, and justification of various methods of conducting
research. It is considered as the foundation of research process. Broadly speaking,
methodology is the underlying principles and rules of organization of philosophical system or
inquiry procedure (Urdong, 1968). The systematic surveying the plan of research and the
problems and prospects are the main subject matter of discussion in the methodology. In other
-
53
words we have to follow a systematic way to complete any work properly. Methodology
describes in detail the tools and techniques which are used to complete the research and to
describe results.
4.3 Data
Data is distinct pieces of information, usually formatted in a special way. In computing, data
is information that has been translated into a form that is more convenient to move or process.
In other contexts, data has somewhat different meanings. Information in raw or unorganized
form (such as alphabets, numbers, or symbols) that refer to, or represent, conditions, ideas, or
objects. Data is limitless and present everywhere in the universe
4.4 Methodology
The process used to collect information and data for the purpose of making Data is distinct
pieces of information, usually formatted in a special way. In computing, data is information
that has been translated into a form that is more convenient to move or process. In other
contexts, data has somewhat different meanings. Information in raw or unorganized form (such
as alphabets, numbers, or symbols) that refer to, or represent, conditions, ideas, or objects.
Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study.
It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a
branch of knowledge. Typically, it encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical model,
phases and quantitative or qualitative techniques.
A methodology does not set out to provide solutions - it is, therefore, not the same as a method.
Instead, a methodology offers the theoretical underpinning for understanding which method,
set of methods, or so- applied to specific case, for example, to
calculating a specific result. It has been defined also as follows:
The analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a
discipline"

4.4.1 Research Design:
The research design refers to the overall strategy that you choose to integrate the different
components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby, ensuring you will effectively
address the research problem; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement, and
analysis of data. Note that your research problem determines the type of design you should
use, not the other way around
Designing a research will help the researcher plan and implement the study in a way that will
help the researcher to obtain intended results as according to Groove (2001). It therefore
increases the chances that could be associated with the real situation at hand thus coming up
with a viable research. Orna and Steven (1995) also are in the same way saying that a research
design is a means of critical investigation in a bid to discover specifically something about the
problem at hand through inquiries, collection of information solve the problem. Singleton and
Straits (1999: 91) are of the idea that a research design is a detailed strategy which is inclusive
of the statement of the problem and plans of gathering, processing and interpreting the gathered
data intended to provide some recommendations to the problem.
In this regard, the researcher will use a case study approach which allows for in-depth account
of factors that show the major causes of development induced displacement. This is so as it
may also assist in validating the data gathered. Bell (2001) define research design as an
arrangement for collection of data with the aim of combining relevance and purpose of the
study so as to improve the quality of the research, which can only be achieved through better
understanding of the research.

4.4.2 Descriptive Research
Descriptive Research is a fact finding investigation which is aimed at describing the
characteristics of individual, situation or a group (or) describing the state of affairs as it exists
at present. The type of research method used is descriptive. The aim of descriptive research is
to verify formulated hypotheses that refer to the present situation in order to elucidate it.

Descriptive research is used because the research is primarily concerned with describing the
nature and conditions and degree in detail of the present situation
A descriptive research is conducted using 100 respondents, where in the detailed analysis of
preference of shopping, preference on organized and unorganized outlets, latest trend towards
Satranji outlets. Where in the detailed analysis of the quality of the service is analyzed with
respect to various variables and compared with the competitors to arrive at a conclusion on the
basis of finding and suggestions, which would help the company to provide greater service and
make necessary improvements in the service quality.
4.4.3 Sampling:
Sampling methods are classified as either probability or nonprobability. In probability
samples, each member of the population has a known non-zero probability of being selected.
Probability methods include random sampling, systematic sampling, and stratified sampling.
In nonprobability sampling, members are selected from the population in some nonrandom
manner. These include convenience sampling, judgment sampling, quota sampling, and
snowball sampling. The advantage of probability sampling is that sampling error can be
calculated. Sampling error is the degree to which a sample might differ from the population.
When inferring to the population, results are reported plus or minus the sampling error. In
nonprobability sampling, the degree to which the sample differs from the population remains
unknown.
4.4.3.1 Sampling Design
A sampling design specifies for every possible sample its probability of being drawn. To
understand certain things and have some objective in mind. In each case there is a target
population. The idea behind principle of sampling is that we seek knowledge about the total
units by observing a few units and extend our inference about the sample to the entire
population.

4.4.4 Tools of Data Collection
In present study both primary as well as secondary data will be used, which will helps in
identifying socio economic condition of Satranji palli and problem and limitation of Satranji
palli artisans. It also helps to identify how artisans struggled their life for progressing poverty.
Tools of Data collection is to the selection of the study area, period of the study, sampling
technique and sample size, data processing and analysis.
4.5 Data Sources:
In present study both primary as well as secondary data is used, for the success of this research,
the researcher will use the two sources of data which are primary data and secondary data.
This is an attempt to attain the most objective data and valid data from both sources. The two
sources will be justified below.
4.5.1 Primary Data
The primary data for the study will be collected by means of structured questionnaire and di
the data which are collected as raw information from various sources are called Primary data.
Primary data was collected from research field. Singleton and Straits (1999) are of the
judgment that primary data is constituted as an eye witness account of the events as they occur.
It therefore makes it the focal peak of the research. Primary data is gathered through one on
one interviews, questionnaires and field observations. Observations are also essential as they
are less prone to bias. The methodology used for collecting primary data is given below:
Questionnaire

Observation
This report is done personally to the 100 respondents to get their responses.
4.5.1.2 Interviews
Kuman and Aaker (1999) define interviewing as direct contact between the interviewer and
the respondent in a suitable environment. They are echoed by Moser and Kalton (1971:27) as
they also say that an interview is a conversation between interviewer and the respondent with

the purpose of eliciting certain information from respondent. The targeted people are busy
people who are engaged in Satranji Production. I have an appointment with the Satranji
Production management body that he assisted in the research under study. I use structured
interviews which are less time consuming but equally effective. This is by use of prescribed
questions for the interview respondents
4.5.1.3 Field Observation
There are two types of observations as Kumar (2011) postulated. There is participative and
non-participative observations. Participative observation is when the researcher involves
himself in the activities of the people under study with or without the knowledge of the group
to capture the objectives of the study. Non participative is the opposite of this one as the
researcher will not actually take part in the activities of the day to day running. The researcher
will however use the non-participative method whereby the researcher will be just observing
without any action.
Field research is often associated with ever-changing situations and is often used in conjunction
with other research instruments to supplement the data (Singleton and Straits (1999).
Observations are when the researcher involves himself in the environment of study.
I carry out some field observations at the actual Satranji Palli, Nishbetganj in study. It helps
me to analyse and also have the actual feel of the environment. I add flesh to the interviews
and the questionnaires as outlined above.
