Bamboo and Cane Crafts of India: A Sustainable Art Form

Bamboo-made objects are eco-friendly, beautiful, and cost-effective.

India is the second largest producer of bamboo in the world, and no wonder why India is a pioneer in producing items made of bamboo.

Almost 65% of bamboo comes from the NE states, and there is an apparent tradition of bamboo-based craft materials being made and used by local inhabitants.

The abundant supply of raw materials led to its craft tradition. Our Seven Sisters (NE States) rely on bamboo-based industries. They have a rich heritage of bamboo crafts that are giving tough competition to cheap but biohazard plastic items.

Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and to the top of the list seven NE states (Meghalaya, Assam, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Tripura, and Nagaland), there are eminent craftspersons that are the backbone of bamboo industries.

When the world is searching and researching to replace non-organic objects with eco-friendly objects, India is far ahead by producing bamboo-based sustainable utility items.
