INTRODUCTION

Bamboo is the most important non-wood forest product in India. It is known as the ‘Poor man’s timber’. During the last 15-20 years, bamboo has developed as an exceptionally valuable and superior substitute for wood.Bamboo has replaced wood in many industrial applications and thereby contributes to the savings and restoration of the world’s forests. It has a tremendous potential for economic and international development.
Bamboo products industry broadly consists of bamboo furniture, bamboo flooring, bamboo pulp, bamboo housing, bamboo mat boards and misc products consisting of baskets, mats, pots etc.
The bamboo misc.products category in India is expected to reach INR 600 crore by the year 2015.
Despite severe degradation of resources in the past, India still has a considerable growing stock of bamboo, and comparative annual harvest figures still place India at the top of the global league. It is important to realize the considerable latent potential that bamboo has to contribute to economic growth, poverty alleviation, generating employment, rehabilitating vast tracks of degraded land generated due to past agricultural and industrial practices and policies, and revitalizing the social, economic and ecological well being of rural areas of the country. Bamboo is a major construction material in many countries, particularly in rural areas. It is also used among households in the form of bamboo roofs, walls, floors, beams, fences etc. An important one among these is Bamboo Baskets which is widely used among the rural population for utility as well as decorative purposes.
It not only serves domestic purpose but is also widely used by rural vendors and wagers for their respective day to day activities.

Majority of the rural households are subsistence farmers and rely heavily on forest products to meet their daily requirements. Fuel wood is used for cooking and heating purposes, fodder and grass for livestock, leaf litter for manure, and timber for constructing houses and for making agricultural implements. Poor people are more benefitted from forests products as they are not able to afford for alternative source of energy for fuel, timber etc. But studies also show that forest resources are equally consumed by other groups of people as well.
