Telangana Promotes Bamboo Cultivation to Curb Deforestation

The government in Telangana wants to help people who live near forests and currently farm in ways that harm the forest.

They plan to encourage growing bamboo instead.

This will give people new jobs, like making things from bamboo.

They will get free bamboo seeds and training.

The goal is to stop people from cutting down forests for farming and to help them earn more money by making and selling bamboo products.

This also helps to protect the environment and provides an alternative for tribes who have lost their traditional livelihoods due to deforestation.
