We are in the midst of the corona virus crisis. It isimperative that, an information regarding crops and otherfarm technologies should reach at famers in time tominimize the effect of COVID-19 on the country's foodsecurity and employment generation through differententerprises. The World Food Programme (WFP) has notedthat the COVID-19 crisis is "Threatening to effect millions ofpeople already made vulnerable by food insecurity andmalnutrition." Along with food insecurity, unemployment isone of the problem now a day our country facing. Changingclimatic conditions may also affects on the agricultureproduction. To mitigate such problems, we need to searchother options for food production and employmentopportunities. Bamboo, which is an important forestproduce, has high significance in socio economic life of ruralIndia. It is said to be poor man's timber and put tomultifarious uses for various livelihood options. Bambooarea of the country is estimated as 8.96 million hectares andthe total growing stock (green weight) is 80.428 milliontons. Annual production of bamboo is estimated as32,30,000 tons in the country. North Eastern states have28% of the area and 66% of the growing stock. MadhyaPradesh has 20.3% of the area and 12% of the growing

stock.
