MNG ACADEMY
We at MNG ACADEMY have developed specialized Beekeeping Courses.
These Beekeeping Training courses are designed by the respected
industry experts, who have vast Experiences and in-depth knowledge of
the field and they are dedicated to train farmers to go for Beekeeping.
Incorporating latest techniques of Beekeeping with Traditional methods
our experts have evolved unique methods that make Beekeeping a
scientifically managed art or discipline. Our Honey Beekeeping Training
Course has definitely helped our clients to adopt a more sophisticated
way of extracting and processing honey. Today, we have emerged as the
best institute for Beekeeping Training in India.

Introduction:
Northern Easter States are highly enriched with various cultures and green values. During our
previous work experiences in the states like as Manipur, Assam, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Nagaland and
Arunachal Pradesh,we have noticed that people are dedicated and they love to invest their time to
make the designed
handicraft. Though they are
not getting proper financial
profit, due to technical
competencies and
unorganised management
framework. Actually, they
are many villages which are
still now in not network
zone. There are no such way
to reach these villages by car
or other vehicles. Also, they
are other socio-geographical
difficulties. On the other
hand, people are very much energetic and creative. Similarly, in north eastern states,Handicraft,
culture and society are interlinked: Three points of the Triangle.
People are very much
concerned about their
society and culture.
For this reason, they
have protected their
own traditional
handicraft. Also we
have observed due to
meteorological and
geological factors,
bamboos are available
in North Eastern
States. For their daily
activities, they have
been working with
bamboo trees. They
love to cultivate the
bamboo tress and
after the growth of the
trees,they have been using this trees for domestic and other uses.
Our Aim is to Skill (Soft and Technical) them, motivate them and make them independent small scale
industry (Start-up) to sustain in National and International Markets by getting help of various
Government and Non- Governmental National – International agencies.

Project Areas
We will start our work from Assam because as per
our experience, here making Handicraft is the part
of the tradition. People do believe in music and
Handicraft creation are part of their cultural
footprint. Also, comparing to other north
eastern states,communication, soci0 –
geographical factors are helping to start the
work.
Assam is a state in northeaster India, situated
south of the eastern Himalayas along the
Brahmaputra and Barak River valleys. Assam
covers an area of 78,438 km2 (30,285 sq mi).
The state is bordered by Bhutan and ArunachalPradesh to the north; Nagaland and Manipur to the
east; Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram and Bangladesh to the south; and West Bengal to the west via the
Siliguri Corridor, a 22 kilometres (14 mi) strip of land that connects the state to the rest of India.
Assam is known for Assam tea and Assam silk.
The state has conserved the one-horned Indian
rhinoceros from near extinction, along with the
wild water buffalo, pygmy hog, tiger and various
species of Asiatic birds, and provides one of the
last wild habitats for the Asian elephant. The
Assamese economy is aided by wildlife tourism to
Kaziranga National Park and Manas National Park,
which are World Heritage Sites. Sal tree forests are
found in the state which, as a result of abundant
rainfall, look green all year round. Assam receives
more rainfall than most parts of India; this rain
feeds the Brahmaputra River, whose tributaries
and oxbow lakes provide the region with a hydro-
geomorphic environment.
Population
The total population of Assam was 26.66 million with 4.91 million households in 2001. Higher
population concentration was recorded in the districts of Kamrup, Nagaon, Sonitpur, Barpeta,Dhubri,
Darrang,and Cachar. Assam's population was estimated at 28.67 million in 2006 and at 30.57 million
in 2011 and is expected to reach 34.18 million by 2021 and 35.60 million by 2026.

5. 5 | P a g e
As per the 2011 census,the
total population of Assam
was 31,169,272. The total
population of the state has
increased from 26,638,407 to
31,169,272 in the last ten
years with a growth rate of
16.93%.
Of the 33 districts, eight
districts registered a rise in
the decadalpopulation
growth rate. Religious
minority-dominated districts
like Dhubri, Goalpara,
Barpeta,Morigaon, Nagaon,
and Hailakandi, recorded
growth rates ranging from 20
per cent to 24 per cent during
the last decade. Eastern Assamese districts, including Sivasagar and Jorhat, registered around 9 per
cent population growth. These districts do not have any international border.
In 2011, the literacy rate in the state was 73.18%. The male literacy rate was 78.81% and the female
literacy rate was 67.27%. In 2001, the census had recorded literacy in Assam at 63.3% with male
literacy at 71.3% and female at 54.6%. The urbanisation rate was recorded at 12.9%.
The growth of
population in Assam
has increased since
the middle decades
of the 20th century.
The population grew
from 3.29 million in
1901 to 6.70 million
in 1941. It increased
to 14.63 million in
1971 and 22.41
million in 1991. The
growth in the
western and
southern districts
was high primarily
due to the influx of
people from East
Pakistan, now
Bangladesh.
The People of India project has studied 115 of the ethnic groups in Assam. 79 (69%) identify
themselves regionally, 22 (19%) locally, and 3 trans-nationally. The earliest settlers were Austric,
Dravidian followed by Tibeto-Burman, Indo-Aryan, and Tai–Kadai people. Forty-five languages are
spoken by different communities, including three major language families: Austroasiatic (5), Sino-

6. 6 | P a g e
Tibetan (24) and Indo-European (12). Three of the spoken languages do not fall in these families.
There is a high degree of bilingualism.
Religions
According to the 2011 census, 61.67% were Hindus, 34.22% were Muslims. Christian minorities
(3.7%) are found among the Scheduled Tribe and Castes population. The Scheduled Tribe population
in Assam is around 13%, of which Bodos account for 40%. Other religions followed include Jainism
(0.1%), Buddhism (0.2%),Sikhism (0.1%) and Animism (amongst Khamti, Phake,Aiton etc.
communities). Many Hindus in Assam are followers of the Ekasarana Dharma sect of Hinduism,
which gave rise to Namghar, designed to be simpler places of worship than traditional Hindu
temples.[citation needed]
Out of 32 districts of Assam,9 are Muslim majority according to the 2011 census of India. The
districts are Dhubri, Goalpara, Barpeta,Morigaon, Nagaon, Karimganj, Hailakandi, Darrang and
Bongaigaon.

Bamboo and its product
The bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants in
the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae.
The word "bamboo" comes from the Dutch and/or
Portuguese languages, which probably borrowed it from
Malay.
In bamboo, as in other grasses,the internodal regions of
the stem are usually hollow and the vascular bundles in
the cross-section are scattered throughout the stem instead
of in a cylindrical arrangement. The dicotyledonous
woody xylem is also absent. The absence of secondary
growth wood causes the stems of monocots, including the
palms and large bamboos, to be columnar rather than
tapering.
Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the
world, due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain
species of bamboo can grow 910 mm (36 in) within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 40 mm (1.6
in) an hour (a growth around 1 mm every 90 seconds, or 1 inch every 40 minutes).[5] Giant bamboos
are the largest members of the grass family.
Bamboos are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East
Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Bamboo has
a higher specific compressive strength than wood, brick or concrete,and a specific tensile strength
that rivals steel.

Bamboo Craft
Bamboo Craft Traditional crafts using bamboo as raw material. Rural people in general are both
producers and consumers of this product. Bamboo has manifold uses, its low cost making it the
primary material for articles of everyday use such as stools, mats, baskets, traps as well as decorative
items. It is important both in life and after death. It is used for building houses, as well as to make
ladders and scaffolds for building and repairing houses. It is also used in both Hindu and Muslim
funerals, for burning or burying the dead.
Bamboo mat
Twenty-six species of bamboo are available in India. Three species that are used for industrial
purposes are muli, talla and baira. Although bamboo products do not have a long life, their varied uses
and low prices have made the industry a profitable one. Much of the technology is primitive and has
remained unaltered for more than thousand years.
Wedding dali or tray
There is hardly any aspect of rural life in India where bamboo products are not in use. Bamboo mathal
(hat) and bamboo baskets are used in farm work. Fishermen use bamboo traps and creels to catch and
store fish: chai, khalui, juita, etc. Traditional houses often have roofs made of bamboo, dochala (two-
sided roof), charchala (four-sided roof) or atchala (eight-sided roof) as well as bamboo fences. Other
common craft items include jhap (hanging door or lid), belki and darma (screen). In the past bamboo
was also used to make weapons such as barsha (pike), dhal (shield), lathi (stick), tir (arrow),dhanuk
(bow), and vallam (spear). Roofs of boats and bullock carts are also made of bamboo, as are frames of
rickshaw hoods. The traditional flute, an essential folk musical instrument, is made of bamboo as is
the body of the ektara. Bamboo toys and dolls are popular and cheap.
Ornamental wall piece
The bamboo forms part of the lifestyle of tribal people. An intricate bamboo dance is performed by
chakma girls, and sections of bamboo are used to carry and transport cooked rice. Utensils made of
bamboo are made attractive by weaving delicate slivers of bamboo into designs. Large,conical
bamboo baskets are widely used in the tea gardens of sylhet. khasia tribes use bamboo baskets for
keeping betel leaves.
Bamboo fans
Bamboo
utensils such
as kula
(winnowing
fan), jhudi
(basket),
chalani
(sieve), dala
(tray,
specially used
for drying
pickles) are
part of everyday life and are used in both rural and urban kitchens. Lately the use of bamboo furniture
has become fashionable. Bamboo is also being used to make attractive ashtrays, flower vases,
cosmetic boxes, picture frames,mirror frames,pens, etc.

Conclusion
Through the bamboo based handcrafting promotion, I will oxidise the financial health of small and
micro- Industries in North Eastern India. New business will be started. Thus more people will get the
job. It will increase the happiness Index, Human development Index of North Eastern States. In
future, Quality of the life will be increasing in a rocket velocity. In the same line, it will encourage to
start other eco-businesses such as solid waste management, eco-tourism, Ayurveda product related
business, food and breaverage related business etc.
It has also severalinteresting long term effects such as it will promote the renewable energy drive, it
will support the cleanliness movement, it will help our integrity, it will protect forest and animals, it
will be reduce gender discrimination etc. In near future, it will be the back bone of the rural economy
in North East India.
