Capital is all set to witness the National Bamboo Expo Mart (Baans Bazaar) that started at Dilli Haat Janak Puri. The Baans Bazar was inaugurated today by Sh. Prabhu Dayal Meena, Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Govt. of India. The event is organised by National Bamboo Mission, coordinated by Madhya Pradesh State Bamboo Mission and is held in collaboration with Delhi Tourism.

The event aims to showcase exemplary entrepreneurship ventures and expertise undertaken by rural artisans and other organisations in bamboo industry. Various innovative products made from the woody grass (bamboo) are presented at this event and the creators are given an opportunity to directly interact with the stakeholders.

This festival includes marketing of bamboo products, special entrepreneur stalls, display of bamboo machinery, training workshops for artisans (through design inputs by experts from NID, IITs and SPA), and bamboo based cultural performances. The exposition is not only acting as a strong buyer-seller meet but is informing people about unique concepts such as bamboo cuisine.

The theme of this 3 day event stands 'Green Consumerism - The Bamboo Way'. The city is being flooded with numerous products, and Bamboo Expo being one-of-a kind event is offering sustainable alternatives. Right from nurturing an indoor bamboo plant to using it in buildings and even flooring them, this woody grass has plentiful applications.

The international community is widely using the bamboo crop for making modern day products like mobile phone covers, steering wheels, speakers, weapons, furniture, musical instruments, sporting equipments etc. Unlike trees, one doesn't need to chop down an entire plant for usage, the grass continues to grow even after harvesting it. It is often mentioned that bamboo is the only plant that converts nearly 35% carbon-di-oxide to oxygen as compared to regular trees.

Delhi Tourism has always partnered change, for development and for societal good. This unique approach towards promoting the domestic bamboo industry aligns with Delhi Tourism's vision of humungous potential in country's indigenous creations. For it is this idea, which will develop city's exclusive identity and make it a fertile ground for tourism. Interestingly, Delhi Tourism's Dilli Haat Janak Puri also demonstrates the application of bamboo in its architecture. Four tabla shaped towers and railings at the venue attractively put bamboo to use.
