The Meghalaya State Bamboo Mission is an implementing body under Meghalaya Basin Management Agency for National Bamboo Mission, aimed at promoting bamboo cultivation across 10,000 hectares, generating up to 1 million tonnes of harvestable bamboo annually, and creating a sustainable bamboo-based economy through value addition and livelihood generation.
In alignment with the MegLIFE project’s goal of restoring degraded ecosystems and improving rural livelihoods through bamboo nurseries and bamboo plantation efforts, the State Bamboo Mission works in convergence with MegLIFE to amplify impact. As part of this collaboration, the State Bamboo Mission will support Self-Help Groups (SHGs) by integrating bamboo-related activities into their business plans, offering technical support, planting material, and future market linkages. The aim is to strengthen grassroots entrepreneurship, create sustainable income opportunities, and build a community-driven green economy rooted in bamboo.
