Bamboo Village was born in 2006 out of a vision to create a sustainable village with bamboo as a central theme, in Thrikkaippetta,Wayanad, which is one of the least developed districts of the state of Kerala. The village comprises of 2,000 families, spread in two wards of Meppadi Panchayath.The village consists mostly of agricultural families. After 10 years of concentrated efforts in the field of bamboo, “Uravu Research Centre ” realized that diversification of activities are extremely important in the current, rapidly changing global socio - economic scenario to develop a village into a sustainable one and renamed the village as Bamboo Village.
