1.5.4 Sampling
The TOR provided by BSP lo DevPart contained the sampled households for this study. A total of 100 families
was selected randomly from among plants constructed by different branch, sub-branch and depot offices of
NGG, NRG and PGG during the fiscal years 1994/95 and 1995/96 in eight districts of the Kingdom. The
districts where sampled plants were located are shown in country map in pagc-7. Because of the fact that all the
three companies whose plant were selected for the study, had their focus areas in the western and central
development regions, the distribution covered only a limited area of the kingdom. The districts covered under
this study were; Gorkha, Lamjung, Tanahu, Kaski, Syangja, Chitwan, Makawanpur and Dhading. The table
below indicates the distribution of the sampled plants. :
