  • The project was launched by Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) recently from the tribal village Nichla Mandwa in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
  • 5000 saplings of special bamboo species have been planted in vacant arid Gram Panchayat land.
  • These special species Bambusa Tulda and Bambusa Polymorpha were brought from Assam.
  • KVIC has thus created a world record of planting the highest number of bamboo saplings on a single day at one location.
  • BOLD stands for Bamboo Oasis on Lands in Drought.
  • It is launched by KVIC.
  • The initiative has been launched as part of KVIC’s “Khadi Bamboo Festival” to celebrate 75 years of independence “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”.
  • Its objective is to create bamboo-based green patches in arid and semi-arid land zones to reduce desertification.
