Water bottles, spoons and steaks are also being made


Bilaspur. strictly speaking, the National Green Tribunal is making a comeback for eco-friendly bamboo after nearly 3 decades. The decision to ban plastic is a boon for farmers whose livelihood was carried out by bamboo cultivation.

The demand for bamboo materials appears to be increasing due to provisions such as penalties and penalties on manufacture and sale.

According to the National Bamboo Mission, commercial cultivation of bamboo is taking place in Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Orissa, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tripura, Assam, Nagaland and Gujarat in the country. As the demand sector is expanding its scope, there are also plans for cultivation in such states where its crop can be harvested.

Efforts are being made to make farming profitable. In this context, cultivation of such crops is being encouraged which can give higher profits at lower costs. This is why the trend of bamboo cultivation among farmers has increased rapidly. Bamboo cultivation is being facilitated through the National Bamboo Mission.
