International Training Workshop on Bamboo Propagation, Management and Harvesting: Methods, Policy Issues and Strategies

The INBAR-CIBART training program being held at KFRI would focus on propagation and management of the sympodial type of bamboo - the type that forms clumps and grows as a cluster in one spot. A good majority of useful bamboos are sympodial and woody, and are used in industries, and by the communities and artisans for making a wide range of bamboo products. Their propagation, management and harvesting are different from those of monopodial bamboos. India alone has about 130 species out of which over 100 are of sympodial bamboos belonging to 18 genera. The workshop aims to impart knowledge and skill sets to people involved in bamboo and rattan sectors, in the fields of production, processing, management, marketing and policy-making. In view of the need to maximizing resource use, the workshop will emphasize the training of trainers, besides focusing of awareness creation for optimizing income and employment generation opportunities. The training programme will involve class-room and hands-on sessions, supported by on-field activities and field visits wherever possible.
