When the Kerala State Bamboo Mission was constituted in 2003 the artisans, NGOs, entrepreneurs who were engaged in the state bamboo sector were functioning in an isolated manner. Various need based interventions by the Mission helped in developing their skill, awareness, information as well as in creating opportunities to network with related organisations/institutions. Consequentially they were able to develop their products in trendy and innovative styles. Kerala State Bamboo Mission could support the artisans and other stake holders to find a good market by conducting the “Bamboo Fest” every year at the prime location in Cochin. It is commendable that the State Bamboo Mission has now taken the initiative to publicise this achievement of our bamboo artisans/entrepreneurs by publishing this book.

Kerala is eminently suitable to develop the bamboo sector considering both technology and resources. In the Western Ghats region of Kerala, most of the commercial bamboo species are grown due to the favourable agro-climatic conditions. It is already one of the major bio-diversity areas for bamboo species harbouring more than 25 species. Kerala has both traditional sector such as mat weaving and basketry and modern industries like Paper pulp and Bamboo ply. Bamboo can contribute significantly to rural economy and create employment opportunities. The Bamboo workers in the State were mainly from the poor communities in the pre-intervention period of Bamboo Mission and they were producing only very low value products. Kerala State Bamboo Mission has made various interventions like promoting propagation, skill development programmes, awareness workshops, trade fair participation etc. These activities led to the present level developments in Bamboo Sector in Kerala. The coffee table book, I hope, will help disseminate the present scenario of the sector to the people at large, in India and abroad. I appreciate the efforts undertaken by State Bamboo Mission in preparing this book.

INTRODUCTION
Kerala State Bamboo Mission (KSBM) was constituted in 2003 under the Department of Industries & Commerce with Shri. P.K. Kunhalikutty, Hon’ble Minister (Industries & IT) as its Chairman and Shri. C.P. John, Member, Kerala State Planning Board as its Vice -chairman. KSBM was formed to take necessary initiative and interventions to provide the required support to the Artisans, Craftsmen, NGOs, Entrepreneurs etc. for promoting the sector.
The scenario of the sector in the pre-intervention stage was under developed and unorganised due to lack of modern know how, skill development and lack of information about genuine resources and its accessibility. These critical gaps keep them in a stage of underdeveloped condition and unreachable to the competitive market.
After formation of Kerala State Bamboo Mission, the Mission made several interventions to address the issues of the sector such as skill development training for the artisans, Institutional linkages, trade fair participation, Training to Trainers, Promoting propagation of Bamboo etc.
The focused interventions include promoting cultivation of bamboo, creation of new designs for innovative products in the handicrafts sector along with appropri-ate skill development, promotion of bamboo based modern industries supported by

technology adaptation and development. By this, it is expected to create greater business opportunities at various levels, especially among women and improving the living standards of the rural people there by contributing to the overall growth of the sector.
Kerala Bamboo Fest is one of the major interventions done by the Mission. It provides a platform for the beneficiaries to widen market and acquire knowledge about product development. The first edition of ‘Kerala Bamboo Fest’ was organized in 2004. Since then the Fest is conducted in December, every year, for the last ten years at Kochi. From the year 2007 onwards, artisans / craftsmen from outside the State, mainly from the North Eastern States are also participating in Kerala Bamboo Fest and in 2014 it is being organized with National and International participation. From 2013 onwards State Mission is participating in the India International Trade Fair (IITF) being held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
These interventions help them to move from traditional to contemporary stage and enable them to present their product in the competitive Markets. To tap the opportunity in the Domestic/International Market of bamboo and related products the need based interventions are required and it will be planned based on the suggestions from the sector specific experts. With the above aim, the Mission build linkages with prominent professionals like Head of Industrial Design Centre of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai; Head of Design Centre, National Institute of Design (NID); Civil Engg Department, National Institute of Technology (NIT), Kozhikode; Senior Architects of Habitat; Official from Social Forestry, Forest & Wild Life Department; Scientists from Kerala Forest Research Institute (KFRI) and Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanical Garden & Research Institute (JN TBGRI), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) etc.
With the suggestions of the above professionals, an Action Plan for the future interventions required in the sector was prepared and was validated and approved by the State Mission chaired by the Hon’ble Minister for Industries & IT. One of the major achievements of the Mission is the inclusion of Bamboo propagation in MGNREGS. Kerala State Bamboo Mission (KSBM) is in the process of setting up an Innovation Centre in Ernakulam District in association with Kerala State Bamboo Corpora-tion (KSBC) with the support of the above Institutions. The aim of the Centre is dissemination of need based knowledge, support service etc. to the bamboo sector.
One of the major initiative of Kerala State Bamboo Mission is preparing a ‘Coffee table book’ for the manufacturers of Bamboo products in Kerala. The book is a compilation of various leading bamboo products being manufactured in the State. The book will be a useful guide to the people in India and abroad for procuring unique bamboo products of Kerala.

BambooBamboo, the giant grass, with more than 111 genera and about 1575 spe-cies, occur in a wide variety of soil and climatic conditions around the globe and play a critical role in providing ecological, livelihood and food securi-ty to mankind. In India, although bam-boos occur throughout the country, the largest area under bamboo is in north-eastern India followed by the Western Ghats. There are about 1500 traditional uses of bamboo broadly clas-sified under household, industry, weap-ons, energy, transportation, fisheries, agriculture, medicine and construction. Recently, in East and Southeast Asia, es-pecially in China there has been a rapid growth of bamboo industries. The ma-jor reasons may be ascribed to devel-opment of new products like laminated bamboo, parquet flooring, ply bamboo, bamboo composites and bamboo char-coal. Mechanization of the traditional sectors like bamboo shoots for food, chopsticks, toothpicks and bamboo handicrafts are other possible reasons.
Considering the large bamboo resourc-es of India, which is second only to Chi-
na, the potential for developing bamboo sector appears to be very high. In India, 136 species of bamboos in 36 genera are found to exist. The North East India holds the largest stock and diversity of bamboos. Next to the N.E., the West-
ern Ghats area has the second largest diversity of bamboos. Though the coun-try has the largest area under bamboo, an estimated 9.6 million hectares, the yield per ha is estimated around 0.4 tons, which is very low in comparison
to other countries like China, Malay-sia, Costa Rica etc.It is estimated that 8 million artisans depend on bam-boo craft for their livelihood. The an-nual turnover of the bamboo sector in India is estimated to be around Rs. 2400 crores. By and large, this is a to-tally unorganized sector and bamboo has always been considered from the
craft point of view and if otherwise for pulp making only. This craft has been practiced by the North Eastern States for centuries as their prime income source and, in the process, the weaving skills of the artisans had evolved to levels comparable with the craftsperson from more affluent societies like Japan, China etc.

Bamboo in KeralaIn Kerala, 28 species of bamboo are found to occur. The main species are Bambusa bambos, Ochlandra travan-corica, Dendrocalamus strictus and Dendrocalamus stocksii. Kerala has a large number of thin walled bamboos called reed bamboos (Ochlandra gen-era) which are used mainly for weaving by the traditional artisans. Exotic varie-ties like Dendrocalamus giganteus, Den-drocalamus brandisii and Thyrsostachys oliveri are also cultivated by farmers in areas like Waynad district. Bamboos from the Kerala forests are being sup-plied mainly to the pulp and rayon units under concessional rates. Reed bamboo is supplied to the artisans through the State Bamboo Corporation. A unique feature of the Kerala bamboo scene is that 67.3 % of the extracted bamboo comes from home gardens rather than from the forests.
The artisans from the weaving sector from around the Angamaly region are supported by the Kerala State Bamboo Corporation. It is estimated that there are about a lakh people in the state de-pendent on bamboo for their livelihood.
Data from the panchayats indicate that from the early seventies onwards there has been a great drain in the number of artisans from the sector to semi-skilled and unskilled jobs in the tertiary sectors like construction etc.
Five species of bamboo viz., Bambu-sa bambos, Dendrocalamus strictus, Dendrocalamus stocksii, Ochlandra tra-
vancorica and Pseudoxytenanthera ritcheyii are used in handicraft indus-try. Bambusa balcooa, Bambusa vul-garis, Bambusa tulda, Dendrocalamus asper, Dendrocalamus brandisii, Den-
drocalamus giganteus, Dendrocalamus longispathus, Dendrocalamus mem-branaceous, Guadua angustifolia, Thyr-sostachys oliverii are commercial bam-boos suitable for cultivation.

Bamboo Crafts of KeralaBamboo is locally called as Mula and reed is called as Eetta or Oda in Malay-alam. Bamboo and Reed industry is one of the age-old traditional industries of Kerala State. Bamboo is one of the nat-ural fiber found In Kerala, and are found in abundance in the forest and home gardens. These bamboos are grown ei-ther in forest in large scale or in home-steads in small scale. Wayanad is one of the major districts in Kerala known for its thick bamboo forest. Other than this many agencies are also involved in the production of bamboo through proper systematic plantations. As a natural, renewable resource, bamboo is regain-ing its popularity in the modern world through various application in day to day life. From a raw material known as the “poor man’s timber” bamboo is currently being elevated to the status of “the timber of the 21st century”.In Kerala traditionally a large number of artisans are dependent on bamboo craft for their livelihood. The tradition-al bamboo baskets and mats making skill are very popular, based on which Kerala Bamboo Corporation had set up their Bamboo Mat Ply unit in Angama-
ly. These artisans come from different cultural backgrounds and work on the same platform irrespective of their cast and creed. These mix groups of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled artisans help each other to understand the process and get involved at various levels to help the craft flourish as a whole. Kerala is one of the largest bamboo producing State in the Country.
Since ages, people in India have been involved in making bamboo products for storage and other domestic and ag-ricultural uses. Houses, fences & gates, various baskets, mats, containers,
grain storages, agricultural implements are some of the traditional usages of bamboo been found in various places. Men and Women from different culture and caste can be seen making bamboo products in their leisure time. Across the country a large number of popu-lation is dependent on bamboo craft for their livelihood. Traditionally trib-al communities and scheduled castes practiced in bamboo crafts.
In modern context bamboo has been used as one of the raw material to re-place various applications of wood, plastic and metal through design in-tervention, to make products for use
in day to day life. In this contexts there are many institutions and organizations are working in various sector for the development of bamboo right from production of plants, plantation to design, value addition etc. which support entrepreneurs investing in this sector.
