Salim Sayyed ji and Ajay Dolke ji visit our Balkapra bamboo plantation to share their expertise in bamboo forestry. It was a day long discussion with lot of learning and revelations. Our day ended at Tetwali visit in the presence of Bimal ji with a brief talk.
Both have worked closely with Sunil Deshpande ji hence they felt our work is a good reflection of his vision in bamboo sector.
Hon. Prime Minister of Bharat Shri. Narendra Modi mentioned about our effort in 96th 'Mann ki Baat' through a one-minute video of our tribal women artisans making bamboo articles. Sustainability is the buzzword all over the world and the answer lies in being close to the nature. 'Bamboo First' is providing effective solutions with bamboo as a medium to fight climate change & empower the tribal communities with employment at the same time. Sooner or later, we all need to switch to eco-friendly living so that our coming generations live happily. Lets start here & now.
