Ministry of MSME, through Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), has launched a unique pilot project named “Project BOLD”.
BOLD stands for Bamboo Oasis on Lands in Drought.
The objective of this initiative is to scientifically harness the environmental benefits and economic potential of bamboo cultivation to protect environment and strengthen rural economy through various village industries.
There is no budgetary provision for this project under KVIC.
Bamboo saplings have been donated by an NGO that have been brought from Assam.
No targets have been set for this project as it is a pilot project only.
