World Bamboo Day
The
World Bamboo Day is celebrated to create awareness about the importance of
bamboo as a versatile material for sustainable lifestyle. Bamboo is part of
rural livelihood in many countries, especially in developing counties like
India. Due to its versatile nature and multiple uses, it is also called ‘poor
man’s timber’. India is second only to China in terms of bamboo diversity. The
North-Eastern States are a storehouse of bamboo diversity. Bamboo is grown
on 10 million hectares in India and covers almost 13 per cent of the total
forest area. The total production of bamboo is five million tonnes per year.
About 8.6 million people depend on bamboo for their livelihood. The value of
bamboo in India is estimated at $4.4 billion.
