Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Bamboo Day 2025 will be observed on September 18 to raise awareness about bamboo’s ecological, cultural, and economic importance. First celebrated in 2009 during the 8th World Bamboo Congress in Bangkok, the day is coordinated by the World Bamboo Organization. The 2025 theme, “Next Generation Bamboo: Solution, Innovation, and Design”, highlights bamboo’s potential in climate resilience, sustainable livelihoods, and modern design. India, one of the largest bamboo producers, plays a key role through initiatives like the National Bamboo Mission, which promotes bamboo cultivation, processing, and innovation. Bamboo’s versatility makes it a critical resource for rural economies and environmental sustainability.
