I had never heard of using bamboo for massage in Japan, so I found this new initiative very interesting. I\u2019ll be in Tripura until the end of April next year, and I hope we can collaborate on something to utilize bamboo in a new way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The inauguration was graced by&nbsp;<strong>MDC Bidyut Debbarma (TTAADC)<\/strong>, who highlighted the economic and cultural potential of bamboo in Tripura:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cTripura has 19 varieties of bamboo. From plantation to treatment, from tea leaves to daily essentials \u2013 everything can be connected to bamboo. With support from the government and initiatives like this, bamboo can even surpass rubber plantations in profitability. This is the right opportunity, and no one should miss it. Tripura can set an example for India and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>He further emphasized bamboo\u2019s role in Indigenous communities, food security, and everyday life, calling it a \u201cGod-given special resource\u201d that could place Tripura on the global map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Debabrata Sengupta<\/strong>, Deputy Director of the Department of Industries and Commerce, also praised the initiative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good that in our state this bamboo-based massage has been inaugurated today by our honorable MDC, and our young entrepreneurs are involved.
