Vananchal Bamboo Craft Producer Company Limited

We are based in Kusumba village, which is under the Kathikund police station area in the Dumka district. Vananchal Bamboo Craft Producer Company Limited was started because there is so much bamboo growing around here and so many people who know how to work with it using their hands. We are not some big factory with loud machines. It is mostly handwork done by people from this village and other nearby spots like Kalajhar. We gathered together to make it an official company so we could sell the things we make to more people outside our local area. The office is just a simple place where we store the finished crafts and keep our daily records. It is often a bit dusty from the bamboo shavings, and there is usually a pile of raw poles sitting outside the door. We make baskets, mats, and other things people use in their homes every day. It is not a fancy life, but it keeps our traditions alive while bringing in some money for the local families. Sometimes the rainy season makes it hard for us to dry the bamboo properly, so things slow down a bit during those months. We do not have a big boss in a suit. We just have a board of local members who decide how things should run. If you come out to Dumka and head towards Kathikund, you will see us working.
