CGBMT has been contributing to the bamboo sector for over 2 decades through Advocacy, Education, R&D, and skilling.

CGBMT- SoBS will build upon and further broaden its initiatives to comprehensively cover incubation and enterprise development for the bamboo sector to close the loop.

Why?

Bamboo, undoubtedly, stands as an extraordinary material that not only exudes its eco-friendliness and resilience but also showcases its incredible versatility, with a staggering number of over 2000 uses that seamlessly intertwine with the lives of individuals residing in the Global South.

At COP 27, the remarkable potential of bamboo gained well-deserved attention, as it has been hailed as one of the top 5 nature-based solutions for mitigating the alarming effects of global warming.

To ensure that this sector continues to flourish and reach its fullest potential, the presence of skilled human resources becomes an integral imperative. This very mandate is wholeheartedly embraced by the Centre for Green Building Materials & Technology through its School of Bamboo Studies (CGBMT-SoBS), striving to cultivate and nurture the much-needed workforce in this dynamic field.
