Mizoram,Nov 23: The government is committed to develop Mizoram as the ‘Bamboo State of India’, said Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO at Aizawl, Mizoram.
Addressing a press conference here, he said that the State of Mizoram is blessed with very high production of bamboo, which can be turned into a major source, not only for furniture but also for paper supply to the rest of the country. This could not only generate revenue for the State but also create opportunities for youth outside India.
The successive Governments had neglected Mizoram’s vast potentials and this is an opportunity for the people of the State to ensure adequate implementation of various pro-poor Central schemes initiated by the Modi government, added Singh.
