DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 14 (MExN): Branded as ‘Mini Bamboo bazaar’, a pavilion, made entirely of Bamboo was inaugurated at Naga Shopping Arcade in Dimapur on February 14. The one-storied pavilion, complete with stalls, is envisioned to act as a commercial structure for small businesses. Conceptualised and constructed by the Nagaland Bamboo Development Agency (NBDA), the pavilion will be managed by the Development Authority of Nagaland. Not only will it stand as a commercial structure, it will provide a much needed visual appeal to the almost dilapidated Naga Shopping Arcade.
MLA and Advisor, NBDA, Dr. Longrineken inaugurated the pavilion. In his address, Dr. Longrineken, while lauding the effort of the NBDA to promote the potential of bamboo stated that coming up with ingenious concepts and applying the ideas is what will sustain the bamboo movement.
Er. Lipongse Thongtsar, member, Nagaland Bamboo Mission, the project was taken up keeping in mind two important aspects – promotion of bamboo and the promotion of bamboo farmers.
