Courses

Starting with the PG Certificate Course Bamboo Application Technology (BAT) in 2011, which was at that point in time the first structured course in the world that comprehensively delved into all aspects of the Bamboo sector.

Then in 2014, we launched our 9-week Modular Certificate Course BAT course in 6 cities in MP- Bhopal, Jabalpur, Gwalior, Indore, Timarni, and Rajaborari with the support of the Madhya Pradesh Bamboo Mission. The course was launched in Bangalore in 2017.

120 people have completed the BAT courses so far. We have conducted 225 shortcourses/workshops and 2563 people have attended the workshops so far.
