While on the one hand, the legal and regulatory hardships being faced by farmers and private individuals will be removed and on the other hand, it'll create a viable option for cultivation in 12.6 million hectares of cultivable waste land.

Bamboo grows abundantly in areas outside forests with an estimated growing stock of 10.20 million tonnes. About 20 million people are involved in bamboo related activities. One tonne of bamboo provides 350 man days of employment.

Earlier, the Union Cabinet meeting chaired by PM @NarendraModi, had yesterday approved the promulgation of this important Ordinance on amendment of Section 2 (7) of the Indian Forest Act, 1927 in this regard

While the Bamboo grown in the forest areas shall continue to be governed by the provisions of Indian Forest Act, 1927, the ordinance dispenses with the requirement of felling/transit permit for its economic use in non-forest areas.

The provisions attracted by felling/transit of bamboo under Indian Forest Act, 1927 was a major impediment for bamboo cultivation by farmers on non-forest land.

There's an ongoing work in the direction to develop a proven Biometric Solar Operated ATM under the inspiring and dynamic leadership of Prof. Gon Chaudhry. I’m sure we'll have a working prototype in no time #EaseOfLiving pic.twitter.com/FRnVw1rOJK

ATM use is restricted to urban areas of India. This is mainly due to lesser tech-knowhow and also the different priorities for available power in Rural India pic.twitter.com/IYyN0g95Sg
