Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma has inaugurated a ₹2.52 crore bamboo processing unit at the state’s horticulture center in Sairang, marking a major step toward sustainable industrial growth. The facility, established under the National Bamboo Mission, aims to enhance bamboo-based economic activity and create new employment opportunities in the region.
Key Features of the Bamboo Processing Unit

- Activated Charcoal Unit: Produces three tonnes of charcoal per day, with an expected annual output of 900 tonnes.
- Bamboo Depot & Warehouse: Ensures efficient storage and distribution of processed bamboo products.
