With the aim of taking bamboo construction to a new level competency, training on high-end structural bamboo construction got underway at the Nagaland Bamboo Resource Centre (NBRC), jointly organized by the Nagaland Bamboo Development Agency (NBDA) and Zynorique Consultant, Nagaland.
Training exercise is being monitored by Richard Belho, official architect consultant of NBDA.
According to a press release issued by NBDA, the “bold initiative involves training of selected workers in all the parameters of a conventional construction exercise, right from the making of scaled miniature models, selection of specific bamboo materials and complete assembly of the actual structure within a specified period of time.”
It stated that with the success of the grueling training module, agency has been hopeful that it would be ready with a complete team of high end bamboo construction workers, who could be assigned to undertake ground breaking construction tasks anywhere in the country.
With a growing global awareness on the versatility and efficiency of bamboo as a building material, NBDA stated it would definitely on a fast-forward mode to explore ways and means in the area, generating further employment with finer work output.
