Himachal to collaborate with ISB for policy inputs in bio-energy sector: CM

The Himachal Government is all set to partner with the Indian School of Business (ISB) to provide policy inputs and research support for the emerging bio-energy sector, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said while presiding over a meeting with the representatives of ISB on late Friday evening.

The State Government would initiate a pilot project for Bio-energy production from pine needles and bamboo as the State is blessed with an enormous wealth of conifer forests and has a high potential for bamboo production, said the Chief Minister.

The project would involve the local community and increase their income, he added.
