Hi Friends,there has been a lot of talk regarding utilisation of bamboo, i would
like to mention that we can do a lot of things from bamboo, if we
proper utilise the species available at our end.
And understand the various purposes where it is most suited. We have
set up a knowledge center to help and learn from your experiences
about the usage of bamboo. we can learn from each other.
Yours truly
