Restructured National Bamboo Mission

Significance: Contribute to optimizing farm productivity and income.

• Enhance livelihood opportunities of small & marginal farmers including landless and women
• Provide quality material to industry.
• Benefit directly and indirectly farmers as well as local artisans and associated personnels engaged in bamboo sector including associated industries
