The 30-day Bamboo and Cane Processing Training, held at Manipur University, Canchipur, concluded with a deeply moving ceremony, highlighting the resilience of displaced participants from Churachandpur and Moreh. Organized by the North East Cane and Bamboo Development Council (NECBDC) in collaboration with The Apunba Imagi Machasing (AIMS), Manipur, and supported by the Department of Forestry at Manipur University, the training aimed to support those affected by Manipur’s ongoing crisis.
