Bamboo cultivation popularised in India’s North East
Jorhat, 5 May : The Indian Government is encouraging bamboo cultivation in a big way in the country’s northeast region with the aim of improving the lives of local communities.
Several steps have been taken to enhance bamboo conservation and productivity in the region.
The Rain Forest Research Institute (RFRI), Jorhat, recently organised a conference to discuss ways to promote the commercial cultivation of bamboo and its management, its use as an inter-crop and the propagation of bamboo in the region. The Rain Forest Research Institute, Jorhat, and Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE), Dehradun, had jointly organised the conference.
During the conference, strategies on how to develop the northeast as a center of excellence for bamboo was discussed. Bamboo is one of the world’s most useful renewable natural resources and over 3,000 versatile uses are associated with the social, economic and cultural fabric of the north-eastern States. Bamboo and its products can be a major potential export commodity in the northeast.
In northeast, bamboo is traditionally used as construction material, household articles, in handicrafts and papermaking, agriculture, fisheries, transportation and village industry. India is home to almost 45 per cent of the world’s bamboo forest and two-third of the growing stock of bamboo in the country is available in the northeast.
136 species of bamboo are found across India, of which 89 species in north-east region only.

Uncertainty looms large over Congres's Andaman unit
Unhappy group planning to launch "Trinomool Congress" in Andaman
Port Blair, 5 May : Intra-party squabblings have come to the fore within the Andaman and Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee (ANTCC) here. Party sources said while one group was trying to ''capture'' the entire Congress unit in the Islands, the other was unwilling to open their cards till the Lok Sabha poll results were out on 16 May.
The ANTCC, which ruled the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands for more than four decades, has virtually split into two major groups, sources added. One faction was being headed by the present Lok Sabha candidate of Congress Kuldeep Rai Sharma and the other by the seven-time MP and senior Congress leader Manoranjan Bhakta. Bhakta was denied a Lok Sabha election ticket by the Congress headquarter this year, which resulted in the separation of a large section of Congress workers, who preferred to stay outside during the election campaign in his support.
There are also strong rumours that the ''unhappy'' group is planning to launch Mamata Banerjee's Trinimool Congress in Andaman with a view to encashing the Bengali votes of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which numbers about 96,000, sources disclosed. However, when asked about the launch of Trinomool Congress, Bhakta preferred to remain tight lipped. ''I can not comment anything at this moment,'' he stated.
