Objectives of National Bamboo Mission
To increase the area under bamboo plantation in non forest Government and private lands to supplement farm income and contribute towards resilience to climate change as well as availability of quality raw material requirement of industries. The bamboo plantations will be promoted predominantly in farmers’ fields, homesteads, community lands, arable wastelands, and along irrigation canals, water bodies etc.- subsidy for bamboo plantation National Bamboo Mission
To improve post-harvest management through establishment of innovative primary processing units near the source of production, primary treatment and seasoning plants, preservation technologies and market infrastructure
Funding Pattern
The funding pattern will be 60:40 between Centre and State Govt. for all States excepting NE & Hilly states, where it would be 90:10 and 100% in case of Union Territories/ R&D Institutes/ Bamboo Technology Support Groups (BTSGs) and National Level Agencies. For Cooperatives sector the Central Funding component would be routed through NCDC as the Nodal Agency
Components under the scheme
Research and Development
The programmes under research and development will concentrate on technology generation as appropriate to each region/ State/UT, keeping in view their specific agro-climatic and socio-economic conditions. Bamboo-based agroforestry systems include homesteads, block plantations, wide-row intercropping, wind breaks and miscellaneous systems.
2. Plantation development
The main objective of this component is to increase production and productivity of commercially important bamboo species for boosting domestic supply to industry and reduce dependence on imports. Commercially important bamboo species for plantation under the mission, as identified after discussion with stakeholders are Bambusa tulda, B.bambos, B. balcooa, B.cacharensis, B.polymorpha, B.nutans, Dendrocalamus asper, D.hamiltonii, Thyrostachys oliverii, and Melocanna baccifera Besides, States may enocourage plantation of indigenous species as per choice of farmers and industrial importance
3. Establishment of Nurseries
A sizable quantity of quality planting material will be required to meet the targets set. Nurseries (Small, Big & Hi-tech) shall be established in public & private sector. Tissue culture raised planting materials of superior germplasm should be resorted to wherever required to ensure quality and productivity
These measures may be through Forest Departments, User Industries, Research Institutions, Universities, Farmer Groups, Self Help Groups, KVKs / NGOs and individual farmers. Commercial production in private sector and cooperatives should be encouraged for regular and sustained supply of planting material
4.Nurseries
Hi Tech Nurseries: For supply of quality planting material in large quantities, which is free from diseases and viruses, Tissue Culture Units shall be set up. Efforts will be made to set up these units in the ICFRE / ICAR institutes & other organisations in private/ public or cooperative sector. Tissue culture Units would be set up under the close supervision and technical support from ICFRE / ICAR. Each nursery shall produce a minimum of 50,000 nos of sapling/ seedlings per ha per yea
Big Nursery
Each nursery shall produce a minimum of 25,000 nos of sapling/ seedlings per ha per year of mandated species duly certified for its quality. Nursery should have own composting unit, proper source of certified seeds/propagule/ irrigation system and green house /shade/mist chamber
Small Nursery
Each nursery shall produce a minimum of 16,000 nos of sapling/ seedlings per year of mandated species duly certified for its quality.
5. Raising New Plantations
For achieving economies of scale it is imperative that preference be given to Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs), Cooperatives, Village Producers’ Organizations (VPOs), Self Help Groups (SHGs), Cooperatives and the like. All plantations are to be geo-referenced.
- High density plantations
- Block plantation/boundary plantations on farmers’ fields:
6. Micro-Irrigation
7. Post-harvest storage and treatment facilities
Bamboo is affected by several insects and fungi during growth,
storage and after product manufacture. Preventive and remedial measures employing physical, chemical and biological techniques are available
8. Promotion and Development of Infrastructure for Bamboo Market
9. Bamboo Market Research
10. Incubation Centres
11. Production, Development &Processing
12. Export of bamboo based products
