Bamboo has been the lifeline of rural India since time immemorial. With the passage of time and development of technologies leading to new usage, the 'green gold' has turned into a potential game changer for rural economy - for the farmer and industry equally.

With this background and number of progressive measures including the amendment of the Indian Forest Act to remove bamboo outside forests from the definition of 'trees', the restructured National Bamboo Mission (NBM) was launched in 2018-19 for the development of complete value chain of bamboo sector linking growers (farmers) with industry starting from raising quality planting material, plantation, creation of facilities for collection, aggregation, processing, micro, small & medium enterprises, skill development and brand building initiative in a cluster approach mode.

‘National Bamboo Mission’ invites farmers, entrepreneurs, researchers, bamboo-based industry to send in their experiences, innovations, and good practices adopted for increased productivity, strengthen supply of raw material to industry, products in sync with contemporary markets, REPLACE SINGLE USE PLASTICS, new age construction, and other sunrise uses.

Bamboo’s hollow and round structure makes it a unique plant species. Yet despite its hollow structure, bamboo is extremely strong. Not only is it stronger than wood, it also bends further without breaking. This is because bamboo has a higher flexibility per mass density.

Pandas eat bamboo and live in bamboo forests. Fortunately, however, their natural environments are not used for farming. We only use bamboo harvested from the plantations of certified suppliers.

Not only does bamboo grow exceptionally fast, the shoots can also reach great heights. Bamboo stems reach their maximum thickness as soon as they grow out of the ground, and they do not increase in girth as they mature like trees do. The diameter of bamboo stem can be as large as 20cm.

The bamboo plant grows superfast. Did you know that most bamboo plants grow between 5 and 20 centimetres a day? Some species can even grow nearly a metre a day! Due to its rapid growth, as much as 10 times more bamboo can be produced per square metre of land than cotton!

The stems are also split up to make buckets and pipes or are used to make furniture, flooring, walking sticks, fishing poles, garden stakes, and other utensils. Some species of bamboo are used as ornamentals in landscape gardens. The fine-grained silica produced in the joints of bamboo stems has been used as a medicine in the Orient for centuries under the name tabasheer. East Asian artists, poets, and epicures have long celebrated the beauty and utility of bamboo in paintings and verse.
