Guwahati, Nov 28 (KNN)  In an effort to enhance competitiveness of the bamboo industry, the state government will refurbish the Bamboo Technology Park (BTP) in Assam.

The park features a top class common facility centre with state of art machineries for primary processing of bamboo and to supply the products as raw materials to the end-used industries within the park.

It also has a pilot plant for training and demonstration to the prospective entrepreneurs.

Its main objective is to provide specialised physical and intellectual facilities to industrial firms and to encourage them in setting up bamboo processing units and to introduce appropriate technologies and complementary skill building in rural areas, creating the possibility for producers and artisans to improve their skills and become more specialised in their field.

In this regard, BTP seeks bids from technically sound and financially capable corporations to be service providers.  It will also engage manufacturers and distributors for bamboo flooring.

BTP has been involved in setting up a common infrastructure and facility for the benefit of bamboo based industrial cluster at Chaygaon in Assam under industrial infrastructure up-grading scheme (IIUS) which was launched by the department of Industrial Promotion and Policy (DIPP). (KNN/ST)
