Professor & Head | The Executive Council Proceedings (1945- 1947) | This research paper emphasized the political struggle between AFPFL and the British when the British civil Administration was imposed on Myanmar in 1945, and AFPFL demanded independence for Myanmar. The British Governor Dorman- Smith tried forcefully to implement the White Paper Programme and the Anti- Fascist People’s Freedom League (AFPFL) with full support of the people began to raise the demand of self-administration and then complete independence. Finally the British had to concede to the demands of AFPFL by recalling Dorman- Smith.

6 | Dr San San Myint | The Role of Chettyar in Myanmar Economy | Indian involvement in the financial and mercantile sectors of the Myanmar economy was shared by Nattukottai Chettyars. Telegu Chetties and Telegu Komatis from South India and Banias, Chatris and Marwaris from northern India. The Chettyars were the indigenous population of Chettinad near Madras. The name Chetti is assumed to be allied to the Pali term Setthi, whose literal menaning is banker or big merchant. The number of towns and villages at which Chettyar businesses are carried on in Myanmar is about 217. By 1930 there were nearly 2,000 Chettyar offices throughout Myanmar and most concentrated in yangon and Ayeyarwady Delta, supporting total lending of almost one billion rupees (about US $ 3.5 billion today). Without the assassitance of the Chettyar banking system, Burma would never have achieved the wonderful advance of the last 25 to 30 years said by Sir Harcourt Butler (3 January 1923 – 20 December 1927), Governor of Myanmar. | | | Magway University Research Journal, 2015 December, Vol.VI |
7 | Dr San San Myint | Analysis Study on the Activities of the Agricultural Co- operative Societies (1904-1935) | Agriculture is the mainstay economy of Myanmar. Under the Myanmar Kings, the economy of Myanmar was greatly relied on the self-sufficient agriculture. During the Colonial Period with the transform of economic system, the British government enderavored the land reclamation. Moreover, most cash crops of Myanmar penetrated into world market. Most of the cultivators wanted to reclaim the vergin lands. Hence, they needed more money to invest in their new lands. The British government provided loans to the cultivators prescribed two Agricultural Loan Acts. But these Acts were not much used due to the public did not understand and know widely the provisions of these Acts. The British government found that the direct solution method cannot solve practically in the problem of agricultural finance. By encouraging co-operative movement initiated in 1904 and it reached the peak during 1920-21 but there was a gradually decline movement. In theory at least the co-operative credit movement provides the ideal means of distributing loans to individuals. | | | Magway University Research Journal, 2017 December, Vol.VII |

12 | Dr Khin Saw Oo | Culture Value of Myanmar Hand Fan (Talipot-palm Fan) | This paper is presented with two aims. The first is that, in Myanmar history, there is not yet any paper explaining how the “hand-fan” came into existence. The second aim is to focus on fans made of “Pei-bu” (bud of talipot-palm), a handicraft that had disappeared by 2003. It is difficult to know when the hand-fan originated. It has probably been used since prehistoric times, and is still being used today, with slight modifications in design and material over the years. In Myanmar the earliest document with respect to hand-fans is from the Pyu Period. Later there is evidence of the use of hand-fans in some inscriptions from the Bagan Period, mural paintings in Nyaungyan and Konbaung Periods, and relief pictures carved in sandstone in the late Konbaung Period. This paper introduces various kinds of talipot-palm (Corypha umbraculifera) hand-fans used through the ages, showing the regions manufacture, the manufacturing process, the raw materials used, and the markets. The manufacturing process is illustrated with sketches. Myanmar Fans should be presented in virtue of their historical, cultural, artistic and anthropological importance, and be identified by the competent authorities for cultural heritage protection. I believe that my research will be of significant value for our culture heritage. | | | 2nd International Conference on Burma/ Myanmar Studies, 2018 February, Vol.6 |
