Auroville Bamboo Centre was established in February 2007, with the aim to incorporate the following four aspects:
– Vocational training opportunities for the unemployed youth around the villages of Auroville and transforming them into craftsmen who can produce world class Bamboo products
– A technical and sociological research component to bring together Indian traditional craft with contemporary world culture
– Production and marketing of Bamboo craft for income generation and building stronger communities for sustainable living
– Unending research and development of Bamboo for the welfare of local and international communities
