“…Furthermore, bamboo does not necessitate significant investments and, once installed, can be operated without the need for extensive maintenance. Bamboo proliferates and can be harvested consistently without replanting for 3–4 years, resulting in higher returns on capital, attracting farmers and investors [ 61 ]. As managed bamboo becomes more widely available, households will substitute bamboo slats for firewood, a renewable alternative; bamboo will thus aid in reducing deforestation.…”

“…It has been estimated that 28 million metric tons (MMt) of bamboo demand in India could generate a massive 98,000 million man-days employment, especially in rural areas. Still, a case study from Purnia, Bihar, shows that only 15% of the people involved in bamboo-related industries earn more than 143.14 USD [ 61 , 115 , 116 ].…”

“…Dendrocalamus strictus , the most widespread species in India, can be a potential alternative for agroforestry systems in semi-arid tropical regions, improving yield and commercial returns [ 61 ]. The utilization of bamboo can be economically unappealing due to inadequate procedures, excessive logistic expenses, excessive waste, poor management, etc.…”

Increasing population, industrialization, and economic growth cause several adverse impacts on the existing environment and living being. Therefore, rising pollutants load and their mitigation strategies, as well as achieving energy requirements while reducing reliance on fossil fuels are the key areas, which needs significant consideration for sustainable environment. Since India has considerable biomass resources, bioenergy is a significant part of the country’s energy policy. However, the selection of feedstock is a crucial step in bioenergy production that could produce raw material without compromising food reserve along with the sustainable environment. Higher growth capacity of bamboo species makes them a suitable lignocellulosic substrate for the production of high-value greener products such as fuels, chemicals, and biomaterials as well as an appropriate candidate for eco-restoration of degraded land. In that context, the current review discusses the multidimensional applications of bamboo species in India. The bioenergy potency of bamboo and probability of aligning its production, cultivation, and operation with economic and social development agendas are also addressed, making it an exceptional crop in India. Additionally, its fast growth, perennial root systems, and capability to restore degraded land make it an essential part of ecological restoration. Furthermore, this review explores additional benefits of bamboo plantation on the environment, economy, and society along with future research prospects.

“…However, they get depleted during the postmonsoon period and summer. Unreliable groundwater availability in the region has led to higher risk of crop failure (Dev et al, 2020;Garg et al, 2020b;Gupta et al, 2014). About 80% of the population in the region is dependent on the agriculture and livestock sectors.…”

This paper discusses on fabrication, testing and evaluation of delamination factor of nettle fiber based composites for low duty applications. The randomly oriented nettle fibers were used to fabricate the biocomposite by conventional hand lap up technique. Epoxy and Nettle based composite plates were developed by varying fiber weight percentage from 5% to 25%. The flexural, tensile, impact, chemical resistance and water absorption rate of developed nettle fiber based biocomposite were examined for different fiber weight fractions in the randomly oriented patterns as a unique and innovative attempt. During the investigation, flexural strength and tensile strength were improved up to 20 wt% of fiber addition and then it was decreased. This resulted in a continuous rise in impact strength with an enhancement in fiber wt. %. The influence of fiber weight percentage on water absorption and chemical resistance of fabricated composite was examined in different environments. The result showed that the nettle fibers can be used as an essential reinforcing material to design and fabricate mechanical and structural members for low duty application. The chemical behavior of nettle based composite was studied by the FTIR spectroscopy method and the presence of chemical functional group was confirmed. The drilling behavior of developed nettle/SiC/epoxy hybrid composites was evaluated by consider cutting process parameters like feed rate (0.125, 0.212 and 0.3 mm/rev), spindle speed (400, 600, 800 rev/min) and drill diameter (4, 6, 8 mm). Analysis of variance was used in designing experiments for the current investigation. Feed rate was found to be a very impressive factor in influencing the delamination factor.
