Bamboo wealth in India.
"India is home to 136 bamboo species, of which 125 are indigenous. According to the Government of India, the country has 13.96 million hectares under bamboo and is the second richest country in the world in terms of bamboo diversity.
That versatility is perhaps best understood through people who have spent years working with it. In Jorhat, Assam, bamboo is not essentially a raw material for Prabhat Saikia. It has become the foundation of a business, a craft and a source of work for young artisans."
