MESSAGE
When the Kerala State Bamboo Mission was constituted in 2003 the
artisans, NGOs, entrepreneurs who were engaged in the state bamboo sector
were functioning in an isolated manner. Various need based interventions by
the Mission helped in developing their skill, awareness, information as well as
in creating opportunities to network with related organisations/institutions.
Consequentially they were able to develop their products in trendy and
innovative styles. Kerala State Bamboo Mission could support the artisans and
other stake holders to find a good market by conducting the “Bamboo Fest”
every year at the prime location in Cochin. It is commendable that the State
Bamboo Mission has now taken the initiative to publicise this achievement of
our bamboo artisans/entrepreneurs by publishing this book.

MESSAGE INTRODUCTION

The initiative of Kerala State Bamboo Mission
(KSBM) to bring out a ‘Coffee Table Book’ on Kerala bam-
boo products is very much appreciable.
I wish Kerala Bamboo Mission all success for their
future endeavours.
Kerala State Bamboo Mission (KSBM) was constituted in 2003 under the
Department of Industries & Commerce with Shri. P.K. Kunhalikutty, Hon’ble
Minister (Industries & IT) as its Chairman and Shri. C.P. John, Member, Kerala State
Planning Board as its Vice-chairman. KSBM was formed to take necessary initiative and
interventions to provide the required support to the Artisans, Craftsmen, NGOs,
Entrepreneurs etc. for promoting the sector.

The scenario of the sector in the pre-intervention stage was under developed and
unorganised due to lack of modern know how, skill development and lack of
information about genuine resources and its accessibility. These critical gaps keep them
(Sanjay Kumar) in a stage of underdeveloped condition and unreachable to the competitive market.

National Bamboo Mission After formation of Kerala State Bamboo Mission, the Mission made several

areas like Waynad district. Bamboos
from the Kerala forests are being sup-
plied mainly to the pulp and rayon units
under concessional rates. Reed bamboo
is supplied to the artisans through the
State Bamboo Corporation. A unique
feature of the Kerala bamboo scene is
that 67.3 % of the extracted bamboo
comes from home gardens rather than
from the forests.

The artisans from the weaving sector

from around the Angamaly region are
supported by the Kerala State Bamboo
Corporation. It is estimated that there
are about a lakh people in the state de-

 Bamboo Crafts of Kerala
Bamboo is locally called as Mula and
reed is called as Eetta or Oda in Malay-
alam. Bamboo and Reed industry is one
of the age-old traditional industries of
Kerala State. Bamboo is one of the nat-
ural fiber found In Kerala, and are found
in abundance in the forest and home
gardens. These bamboos are grown ei-
ther in forest in large scale or in home-
steads in small scale. Wayanad is one of
the major districts in Kerala known for
its thick bamboo forest. Other than this
many agencies are also involved in the
production of bamboo through proper
systematic plantations. As a natural,
renewable resource, bamboo is regain-
ing its popularity in the modern world

of artisans are dependent on bamboo
craft for their livelihood. The tradition-
al bamboo baskets and mats making
skill are very popular, based on which
Kerala Bamboo Corporation had set up
their Bamboo Mat Ply unit in Angama-
22
ly. These artisans come from different
cultural backgrounds and work on the
same platform irrespective of their cast
and creed. These mix groups of skilled,
semi-skilled and unskilled artisans help
each other to understand the process
and get involved at various levels to
help the craft flourish as a whole. Kerala
is one of the largest bamboo producing
State in the Country.
Since ages, people in India have been
involved in making bamboo products
for storage and other domestic and ag-
ricultural uses. Houses, fences & gates,

development of bamboo right from
production of plants, plantation to
design, value addition etc. which
support entrepreneurs investing in this
sector.
grain storages, agricultural implements
are some of the traditional usages of
bamboo been found in various places.
Men and Women from different culture
and caste can be seen making bamboo
products in their leisure time. Across
the country a large number of popu-
lation is dependent on bamboo craft
for their livelihood. Traditionally trib-
al communities and scheduled castes
