The following images were taken during a workshop conducted by Professor AG Rao and Professor Sandesh from IDC in Ranchi, Jharkhand during the month of December in collaboration with Govt. of Jharkhand at State Institute of Rural Development. The objective was to get the tribal villages of Jharkhand familiarized with new tools for making bamboo products with greater variety and precision. Techniques of treating bamboo for longevity and developing anti-fungal qualities was also introduced. The methods of making products using moulds and natural colors like turmeric were taught at this workshop.
