With growing demands for bamboo in the country, many entrepreneurs in Arunachal Pradesh are evincing keen interest to bamboo-based industries for its high-end value products with less investment.
For Nyapi Doni, selecting a new business after closing her poultry and piggery units, was a risky affair. But her grit and determination paved the way to overcome the risk factor and today she is an established bamboo entrepreneur in Arunachal Pradesh.
The bamboo industry in the northeastern state could be a money spinner, if its potential can be exploited, as the state boasts of having 74 species of the grass species, literally known as the ‘green gold’.
Doni, who started her ‘Arunachal Bamboo’ industry in 2019 after leaving aside her poultry and piggery units, now earns more than 50,000 per month by selling her wide range of bamboo products including, furniture, home utility items and jewellery items. Courtesy: www.outlookindia.com
