The state government is all set to collaborate 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 recently said this while presiding over a meeting with the representatives of the ISB.
The CM said, “The government will start a pilot project for bio-energy production from pine needles and bamboos. HP is blessed with an enormous wealth of conifer forests and has a high potential for bamboo production. The project will boost the income of the local community as well.”
