Maharashtra Governor Advocates Bamboo Economy for Sustainable Development
Maharashtra Governor Jishnu Dev Varma urged developing a bamboo-based economy to promote sustainable growth, rural livelihoods, and reduce plastic use. Speaking at the Bamboo Economy and Sustainability Summit, he highlighted replicating Tripura's model and empowering districts like Gadchiroli. Bamboo's rapid growth and carbon absorption make it valuable for climate change mitigation, as noted by Pasha Patel, Maharashtra's Agriculture Price Commission chairman. The initiative also aims to support artisans, youth, women entrepreneurs, and rural enterprises through modern design and marketing.
