Assam - Industrial and Investment
Policies
Bamboo
& cane policy, 2005
Bamboo has played an important part in
the lives of the people of Assam, and has been an integral
part of the cultural, social and economic traditions of the
State. It is a renewable and versatile resource, and an important
component of the wealth of Assam. It grows in the natural
forests, and is cultivated in homesteads, groves and on private
plantations. It is utilized in many ways, for housing, fencing,
functional articles, agricultural implements, basketry, and
even fuel and food. People possess traditional skills of working
with the material, and knowledge of the cultivation and management
of Bamboo. Rattan is also an important natural material for
the state of Assam. Building on traditional patterns of usage,
it has evolved to become the basis for many artisans and craft
persons working on cane furniture and craft products for the
market.
