Is there subsidy for bamboo planting under the National Bamboo Mission and how to apply?

Yes, the National Bamboo Mission supports bamboo planting, nurseries, and post harvest and value addition activities, with assistance for planting material and maintenance, often at a higher rate on government land and a different rate on farmers private land. The scheme is implemented through the state, so the exact components, subsidy rate and application process are handled by your State Bamboo Mission cell, usually under the agriculture or horticulture department. Apply through that state office or your district horticulture or agriculture officer, and ask which planting material, nursery and value addition components you qualify for. Check the current year guidelines locally, since rates and components are revised over time.
