It gives me immense delight to know that World Bamboo Day is being celebrated along with the Norh-East International Bamboo Festival from 16th to 18th September, 2010 at Kisama in Nagaland. On this occasion, Cane and Bamboo Technology Centre (CBTC) is bringing out a special news letter.
The National Bamboo Mission, launched by the Government of India in 2006 has given a fresh lease of life to many whose livelihoods depend on the bamboo sector. Combining technology with traditional techniques, the Mission seeks to lend support in marketing of the bamboo handicrafts. Thus, besides creating avenues of employment and entrepreneurship, the Mission also ensues preservation of traditional skills.
I have every hope that this World Bamboo Day celebrated will be a grand success. My best wishes are with you.
