Structure
The structure of National Bamboo Mission is very much similar to National Horticulture Mission. On apex level, it has a National Apex Committee (NAC) under the Chairmanship of Union Minister of Agriculture. The members of this committee are various ministers. Then, there is a National Steering Committee (NSC) headed by the Secretary, Deptt. of Agriculture & Cooperation, to oversee the activities of the Mission and approve the Action Plans. On national level, there is also a National Bamboo Cell, which has bamboo specialists as its members and a mission director, an official from the agriculture ministry. On state level, the state government establishes a State Bamboo Steering Committee(SBSC) under Secretary Agriculture/ Horticulture / Environment and Forests.
