Sneha Upadhyaya:
Any allusion to earthquake conjures up bleak illustrations of catastrophe, devastate and debacles. The entire landscape turns into stagnant pool with a screech of breaks and the lives grind to a halt. Apart from causing obliteration, natural calamities dislodge huge swathe of living entities. How to reallocate them and where do they take refuge? Those who had scrolled these grim pictures from their own eyes, are carving for some respite structures that are better, safer and more secure than the makeshift abodes they are living in.

The advantages of using bamboos are; it is cheap, fantastic resistant to floods and high winds and negligibly affected on natural disaster-ravaged zones.
