VSBK is a vehicle for change; wherever
it passes across, brings change, be it social, economical
or environmental. A brick entrepreneur who own VSBK is by
default much admired for bringing positive change in the society.
Brick kiln owner is a prominent member of the society; who
not only provides job to the thousands of semiskilled and
unskilled workers coming from rural hills but also contributes
in nation building by fulfilling huge demand of bricks--a
major building material. In this voyage, brick entrepreneur
takes plenty of risks such as giving million of money to the
workers in advance without any security, loosing thousands
of green bricks due to unpredictable rain and so on. Despite
the risky business and his/her risk taking ability, general
perception of community towards brick entrepreneurs is different
compare to other corporate personality. Brick entrepreneurs
are perceived as the one who earns money by deteriorating
air, soil and vegetation. They are considered as short-term
profit oriented dirty people without having corporate culture
and business know-how in this modern era of globalization.
Although a brick entrepreneur has a vision of globalization
and has potential to compete in global market, they are not
considered as a businessman rather called a “Bhatta wala”
(a brick kiln owner in a hatred way). Some of the brick entrepreneurs
are exporting bricks outside the country with a struggle to
get corporate identity.
In the brick-making journey, VSBK technology is different
than other traditional and non-traditional brick making technology.
An entrepreneur is benefited economically as well as socially
when he or she owns a VSBK.
The entire working principle in this technology is different.
The kiln requires less land for construction, and saves energy
by 40% that obviously benefits the entrepreneurs in monetary
terms. Country like Nepal where coal comes from its neighboring
country, India, benefits more by energy saving potentials
of the VSBK.
The VSBK can be operated through-out a year requiring permanent
employees, which solves problems of hunting of seasonal workers
and risking huge amount of money in the name of advance. An
entrepreneur can happily employ his or her workforce throughout
the year without any sense of uncertainty.
VSBK is a closed structure and it requires sheds to store
green bricks. As a consequence, green bricks are protected
from unpredictable rain minimising loss of money. Environment
friendliness is one of the valuable aspects of a VSBK. It
not only provides good working conditions for the workers
but also provides cleaner air for the society, by virtue of
which, an entrepreneur is expected to get high social respect.
