?The Vegetative propagation Centers (VPCs):- a source of quality planting material of bamboo
NMBA has supported establishment of network of Vegetative propagation Centers (VPCs) in the country that are expected to generate quality planting material for our large scale end use based managed plantation requirements. With the planned infrastructure in place these centers would be in a position to produce 35000 seedlings a year using a combination of propagation techniques like culm cutting, branch cuttings and macro proliferation.These centres are poised to supply planting material to the prospective user agencies/farmers. Spread across the country these would be able to serve all regions. Details including contact information are mentioned in the table below.
