Atal Bamboo Samruddhi Yojna is implemented by Maharashtra Bamboo Development Board as per GR dated 28 June, 2019. The Panel of suppliers of tissue culture bamboo plants has been finalized by this board. The applications from farmers were invited through offline and online mode through website www.mahaforest.gov.in 1 ha per farmer has been provided for 600 bamboo saplings for the planting area. After the farmers have planted the bamboo seedlings, they are required to pay only 80% or 50% subsidy of the cost of the seedlings after inspection. (80 % subsidy if land holding is less than 4 ha. and 50 % subsidy if land holding is more than 4 ha.) All other expenses are to be borne by the farmer himself. The scheme does not provide subsidy for planting and maintenance.
The National Bamboo Campaign was launched in the year 2019 through the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, New Delhi, Government of India regarding the propagation of bamboo in Maharashtra. These include formation of common facility centers in 11 forest circles of Maharashtra, Furniture making units treatment plants, Bamboo waste management plants, Bamboo Bazaar, High Density plantations & demo plots, in various circles of forest Department. Farmers spend Rs.240/- for planting bamboo sapling, subsidy half of which is Rs. 120/- under National Bamboo Mission divides in 3 years as (Rs.60+36+24) = 120/- if the survival percentage of plantation is more than 80% every year.
Following private projects are implemented on the basis of bamboo under Credit Linked Bank Ended Subsidy scheme under National Bamboo Mission.
