Cane furniture and generation of rural employment
Traditionally, Cane & Bamboo furniture’s were
prepared in small scale by carpenters in own house with minimum infrastructure
and generate self-employment for themselves as well as those working in forest
areas and transportations. These artisans transfer their know how to
manufacture from generations to generations and making them self-sufficient in
the process. This environment friendly
furniture’s doesn’t deplete the forest areas as canes can grow fast quickly
rejuvenating the forest areas.
North East India has huge no of such artisans who
manufacture furniture’s from home and usually sell them at road side which lead
to huge reduction of cost involved in setting manufacturing units and showrooms
making it a win-win situation for both manufacturer and consumers. We procure all our furniture’s from such
small cottage industries and hence able to supply them at low costs.
